Abstract
Profuse appearance of microbodies was observed in the cells of methanol-utilizing yeasts in connection with the enhanced catalase activity. These microbodies were isolated successfully by means of sucrose gradient centrifugation from the methanol-grown cells of Kloeckera sp. no. 2201. Localization of a flavin-dependent alcohol oxidase as well as characteristic microbody enzymes (catalase and D-amino acid oxidase) were ascertained in the isolated microbodies, whereas formaldehyde and formate dehydrogenases were detected in the cytoplasmic region. Localization of catalase in the isolated microbody was also demonstrated by the cytochemical technique with 3,3'-diaminobenzidine.
