DE   manganese oxidase.
CA   2 Mn(2+) + O2 + 2 H2O = 2 MnO2 + 4 H(+).
CC   -!- The enzyme, which belongs to the multicopper oxidase family, is found
CC       in many bacterial strains.
CC   -!- It oxidizes soluble Mn(II) to insoluble manganese oxides.
CC   -!- Since the enzyme is localized to the outer surface of the cell,
CC       its activity usually results in encrustation of the cells by the
CC       oxides.
CC   -!- The physiological function of bacterial Mn(II) oxidation remains
CC       unclear.
