glyoxysome

a type of organelle (microbody) containing ENZYMES of the GLYOXYLATE CYCLE. It is found in plants, particularly in germinating seeds.

In addition, peroxisomes and glyoxysomes, collectively referred to as micro bodies, are sub-cellular organelles that do not have an energy-coupled electron transport system, but instead contain flavine oxidases, which catalyse the substrate-dependent reduction of oxygen to [H.
