| Description |
In the present study manganese oxidizing bacteria
(MOB) were isolated and identified using molecular
techniques (16S rRNA gene sequencing) and the electrochemical behaviour of these isolates on orthodontic
wires was studied by employing polarization and impedance
techniques. Staphylococcus aureus (EF516983),
Bacillus pumilus (EF516984), Planococcus rifitioensis
(EF516985), Lysinibacillus boronitolerans (EF516986),
B. fusiformis (EF516987), L. boronitolerans (EF516988)
and B. thuringiensis (EF516989) were identified as
manganese oxidizers in orthodontic appliances. It is
interesting to note that ten control samples did not
have any manganese oxidizers. It reveals that stainless
steel enhances the proliferation of manganese oxidizers
and accelerates the corrosion of orthodontic wires.
Since manganese is toxic to human beings and causes
enhancement of nervous disorder, an in-depth study is
needed in future.
