MICROBODIES -

MICROBODIES

These are the small, single membrane-bound cell organelles that are involved in the absorption of molecular oxygen and oxidation. 

Glyoxysomes:

  • These are specialised single membrane-bound microbodies found in plants (Particularly in fat-storing tissues) and filamentous fungi. 
  • The key enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle - isocitrate lyase and malate synthase are present in the glyoxysomes. 
  • They are responsible for the breakdown of fatty acids and their conversion into sugars through gluconeogenesis. 
  • They are believed to be special types of peroxisomes.
