The presence of lipoxygenase enzyme is observed when cells of Chlorella pyrenoidosa are homogenized under anaerobic conditions. This is the first report of this enzyme in a lower form of plant life. The major product of Chlorella lipoxygenase with linoleic acid as substrate is 13‐hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid.
