These organelles are the source of structures that have been shown to plug septal pores in Ascomycota in response to cellular damage, Woronin bodies.
These organelles are the source of structures that have been shown to plug septal pores in Ascomycota in response to cellular damage, Woronin bodies. These organelles synthesize the most abundant phospholipid in myelin, plasmalogens. Although not mitochondria, one process that takes place in this structure requires the enzyme carnitine acyltransferase. One disorder characterized by an absence of these organelles is caused by mutations in (*) PEX genes. Acetyl-CoA is generated during beta oxidation by breaking down fatty acids in this structure. In plants, glyoxysomes are specialized forms of these microbodies, whose absence causes Zellweger's syndrome. One product of superoxide dismutase is broken down by, for 10 points, what eukaryotic organelle that uses catalase to convert hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water?
