Isolation of Microbodies from Plant Tissues [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1971 Specialized microbodies have previously been isolated and characterized from fatty seedling tissues (glyoxysomes) and leaves (leaf peroxisomes). We have now examined 11 other plant tissues, including tubers, fruits, roots, shoots, and petals, and find that all contain particulate catalase, a distinctive common enzyme component of microbodies. On linear

The PEX7-mediated peroxisomal import system is required for fungal development and pathogenicity in Magnaporthe oryzae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 In eukaryotes, microbodies called peroxisomes play important roles in cellular activities during the life cycle. Previous studies indicate that peroxisomal functions are important for plant infection in many phytopathogenic fungi, but detailed ...

Ferroptosis-Related Genes Are Effective Markers for Diagnostic Targets of Crohn's Disease. [PDF]
Immun Inflamm DisWe found decreased serum iron and ferritin levels in CD patients compared to healthy controls. Combined detection of ferroptosis‐related genes is of great value in the diagnosis of CD, with the specificity even reaching 100%. The expression levels of these ferroptosis‐related genes are related to M0 macrophages, mast cells resting, and neutrophil ...

Microbodies in methanol-assimilating yeasts [PDF]
Archives of Microbiology, 1975 Cells of 3 yeast species capable of assimilating methanol have been examined by electron microscopy. When grown on methanol as the sole source of carbon and energy they contained many microbodies. Cells grown on glucose or ethanol either did not contain such bodies at all, or only to a limited extent.

Characterization of Amoeboaphelidium protococcarum, an algal parasite new to the cryptomycota isolated from an outdoor algal pond used for the production of biofuel. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Mass culture of algae for the production of biofuels is a developing technology designed to offset the depletion of fossil fuel reserves. However, large scale culture of algae in open ponds can be challenging because of incidences of infestation with ...

Reprogramming Hansenula polymorpha for penicillin production: expression of the Penicillium chrysogenum pcl gene [PDF]
, 2007 We aim to introduce the penicillin biosynthetic pathway into the methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha. To allow simultaneous expression of the multiple genes of the penicillin biosynthetic pathway, additional markers were required.

Ultrastructural changes in the silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) seeds during germination
Acta Biologica Slovenica, 1989 Ultrastructural changes in the embryo, and separately in the endosperm, before and after the radicle protrusion of the silver fir seeds (Abies alba Mill.) were studied.

Cloning and mutational analysis of human malonyl-coenzyme A decarboxylase
Journal of Lipid Research, 1999 Malonyl coenzyme A (CoA) decarboxylase (E.C.4. 1.1.9) catalyzes the conversion of malonyl CoA to acetyl CoA. The metabolic role of malonyl CoA decarboxylase has not been fully defined, but deficiency of the enzyme has been associated with mild mental ...
