Manganese(II) phosphate Manganese(II) phosphate Manganese(II) phosphate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Mn(PO). It is a rarely studied species, in contrast to the related lithium manganese phosphate, which has been investigated as a battery cathode. Manganese phosphates often combine with iron phosphates through paragenesis. In the process of paragenesis, each mineral affects the manner in which the other is crystallized. The minerals combine in isomorphic series, meaning that they crystallize in similar forms, producing a sequence of solids. Some examples of “isomorphic series” formed by Mn and Fe include heterosite (Fe,Mn)PO, purpurite (Mn,Fe)PO, and triplite (Mn,Fe)PO. The immersion method is
Manganese exporter manganese efflux pump. Manganese sensitivity and intracellular manganese levels significantly increased in bacteria when the "mntP" (formerly "yebN") gene, which encodes the MntP efflux pump, was deleted. While manganese is a highly important trace nutrient for organisms from bacteria to humans, acting as an important element in the defense against oxidative stress and as an enzyme cofactor, it becomes toxic when present in excess. Manganese exporter The Manganese (Mn2+) Exporter (MntP) Family (TC# 2.A.107) is a member of the Lysine Exporter (LysE) Superfamily. The MntP family is a small family whose members have been found in bacteria and archaea. MntP
