Lysosomes do not belong to microbodies! Microbodies are: peroxisomes, glyoxysomes, glycosomes and Woronin bodies. Glyoxysomes are in filamentous fungi and plants and besides peroxisomal enzymes, they harbor two key enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle: isocitrate liase and malate synthase. Glycosomes are found in kinetoplastida like Trypanosoma and additionally to peroxisomal enzymes they house glycolysis enzymes. Woronin bodies is a separate story. They do not possess any enzyme, they are filled with only one protein called HEX1 which forms hexagonal crystals and thus whole organelle gets hexagonal shape. Woronin bodies seal septal pores to protect the cell filaments from cytoplasmic bleeding and death during the mechanical injury. Dmanagadze 12:10, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then this should be explained as to WHY they do not belong to microbodies and WHO defined this. 2A02:8388:1641:8380:8920:7EEB:D50A:6466 (talk) 16:29, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Microbodies = Peroxisomes?[edit]

The article says "Types include peroxisomes, glyoxysomes,[1] glycosomes and Woronin bodies.". As far as I've understood in the article "Peroxisome" and in the article "Glycosome", Microbodies ARE peroxisomes and glyoxysomes/glycosomes/Woronin bodies are types of Microbodies (= Peroxisomes)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.166.141.188 (talk) 16:59, 4 December 2011

Lysosomes[edit]

Is a lysosome not a microbody as well? If not, which definition is applied here and why does it exclude lysosomes?

I am not absolutely certain but I think that lysosomes are also microbodies. Either way I think it would help to explain whether they are NOT, if they are not; right now the article is a bit ... sparse. 2A02:8388:1641:8380:8920:7EEB:D50A:6466 (talk) 16:23, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
