Thermophilic bacterium Bacillus stearothermophilus TLS33 isolated from a hot spring in Chiang Mai, Thailand produces an extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD). SOD is a free radical metabolizing enzyme that protects the cell membrane from damage by the highly reactive superoxide free radicals. To...
