      abstract = {Manganese oxidation plays a key role in global  biogeochemical cycling, yet its cellular function and  enzymatic mechanisms remain unclear. This study identifies  MopA, a novel Mn(II)-oxidizing peroxidase in Aurantimonas  manganoxydans SI85-9A1—the first bacterial peroxidase  linked to Mn oxidation. Functional assays suggest  involvement of heme peroxidase and reactive oxygen species,  with superoxide mediating Mn(II→III) and hydrogen peroxide  Mn(III→IV) oxidation. Development of a genetic system via  plasmid incorporation marks a breakthrough for mechanistic  studies. Findings indicate Mn oxidation involves multiple  oxygen-dependent steps and a complex protein system,  advancing understanding of microbial manganese metabolism.},
