Abstract

PERSPECTIVES AND SUMMARY Peroxisomes and glyoxysomes or microbodies from plants have been re­ viewed in the Annual Review of Plant Physiology ( 1 , 2), but in the Annual Review ofBiochemistry their general metabolic properties have never been reported. Microbodies are present in most eucaryotic cells and have many properties in common regardless of the tissue. The reviews by De Duve (3) and De Duve & Baudhhin (4) in 1966 and 1969 about the properties of microbodies from mammalian liver and kidney describe the belated discov0066-4154/8 1/0701-0 133$0 1.00 TOLBERT ery of a major subcellular organelle, and should be examined by all inter­ ested in peroxisomes.
