title: A novel glycolate oxidase requiring flavin mononucleotide as the cofactor in the prasinophycean alga Mesostigma viride.
abstract: A new type of glycolate-oxidizing enzyme was found in the prasinophycean alga Mesostigma viride. This enzyme was characterized as the glycolate oxidase that strongly requires FMN, thus distinguishing it from most other Prasinophytes that possess glycolate dehydrogenase instead.
