Chlorella vulgaris Aldehyde Reductase Is Capable of Functioning as Ferric Reductase and of Driving the Fenton Reaction in the Presence of Free Flavin.

The article discusses a study which examines the enzymatic components of Chlorella vulgaris. Findings of the study reveal that a free flavin-dependent Fenton reaction was identified on its cell-free extracts. It also indicates that its N-terminal sequence was similar to aldo-keto reductase family enzymes since it displayed aldehyde reductase activity as well.
