Superoxide is a natural byproduct of oxygen metabolism which, if left unchecked, leads to cell damage. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme that alternately catalyzes the dismutation of the superoxide radical into either the less damaging hydrogen peroxide or molecular oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide can be degraded by catalase. The antioxidant mechanism of SOD is common to most organisms exposed to oxygen. A notable exception is Lactobacillus plantarum.
