pubmed:abstractText |
The cellular structure of two yeast strains capable of growth on methane was investigated by electron microscopy. Microbodies were observed in cells of Sporobolomyces roseus strain Y and Rhodotorula glutinis strain CY when grown on methane but rarely when grown on glucose. The size of the microbodies and the number observed per cell in a thin section did not increase with culture age. No crystalline organization was observed within these organelles. Similar microbodies were also observed in cells of R. glutinis CY grown on hexadecane. The plasma membranes of both methane and hexadecane-grown cells exhibited increased invagination compared to that of glucose-grown cells. Catalase activity was detected in the microbodies of alkane-grown cells by using 3,3'-diaminobenzidine as a cytochemical stain. The data presented suggest that microbodies, and the catalase contained within them, play a role in eucaryotic methane metabolism.
