1.1.3.2	physiological function	L-lactategrown cells and cells grown on glucose and adapted to various stress conditions are similar, with increased mitochondria, elevated number and size of peroxisomes, and formation of lipid and polyphosphate inclusions	-, 745729	
1.1.3.2	physiological function	overexpression decreases the accumulation of toxic glycolate in a cyanobacterial photorespiratory mutant and restores its ability to grow in air. A lactate oxidase-deficient Nostoc sp. mutant grows normally in nitrate-containing medium but dies under N2-fixing conditions. The enzyme may primarily serve as an O2-scavenging enzyme to protect nitrogenase in extant N2-fixing cyanobacteria	746024
