To Beth Fulton: Breathing magnanese

Sorry to use the list, but other people may be interested as well. 
I don't seem to have Beth's address here, so I thought I'd just hang my
dirty laundry out for you all to see.

Beth, here's an interesting note on oxygen carriers... loads of web
sites. 

Quote:
Recently a bacterium, Shewanella putrefaciens, has been found that uses
manganese rather than oxygen as an electron acceptor; that is, it is "a
manganese breather".
