摘要
Hydrogenosomes are energy generating organelles which are found in a variety of anaerobic microbial eukaryotes. Recent data suggest that some of these hydrogenosomes may be biochemically modified mitochondria, subverting the conventional role of this compartment from one of oxidative phosphorylation, to one of hydrogen-evolving fermentation. The origins of the key enzymes which are responsible for hydrogen production are currently obscure but they are not considered to be typical of most eukaryotes.
