Growth of Candida famata and Trichosporon cutaneum on uric acid as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen was associated with the development of a number of microbodies in the cells. Cytochemical staining experiments showed that the organelles contained urate oxidase, a key enzyme of uric acid metabolism, and catalase. Transfer of cells, precultured on glucose or glycerol, into uric acid-containing media indicated that these microbodies originated from the organelles, originally present in the inoculum cells, by growth and division. In urate-grown C. famata the microbodies were frequently observed in large clusters; in both organisms they existed in close association with mitochondria and strands of ER. The organelles lacked crystalline inclusions. In freeze-fractured cells their surrounding membranes showed smooth fracture faces. |
