Özet
The hemoglobins found in unicellular organisms show a great deal of chemical reactivity, protecting cells against oxidative stress, and hence have been implicated in a wider variety of potential functions than those traditionally associated with animal and plant hemoglobins. There are well-documented studies showing that bacteria expressing Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb), the first prokaryotic hemoglobin characterized, have better growth and oxygen uptake rates than their VHb counterparts.
