Microbodies are a special type of organelle like bodies found in the cells of some eukaryotic organisms (plants and animals). These bodies are present in the cell cytosol and have vesicle-like spherical structure with enzymes for peculiar cellular activities (such as alpha oxidation of fatty acids). Some of the known microbodies found in eukaryotes are peroxisomes (in human and other animal cells), glycosomes (in protozoan cells), glyoxysomes (in plant cells), woronin body, etc.
