[Cytochemical evidence of catalase in microbodies in Acetabularia mediterranea]
Abstract
Direct evidence for the occurrence of microbodies in the marine green algae Acetabularia mediterranea is presented. The microbodies were characterized by means of their marker-enzyme catalase, (EC 1.11.1.6), the presence of which was demonstrated by electron microscopic cytochemical techniques. The function of microbodies in the metabolism of the Acetabularia cell is discussed.
