RESUMO

Glycolate oxidase is loosely held by microbodies obtained from etiolated barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaves depleted of nitrate. Defined centrifugation conditions cause the complete detachment of the enzyme from the microbodies. Addition of nitrate to these plants brings about a greater retention of glycolate oxidase by the microbodies. Synthesis of a nitrate-induced protein seems to be responsible for the enhanced retention of glycolate oxidase. Catalase, on the contrary, is strongly attached to the microbodies under all nutritional and experimental conditions considered.
