Degradation of a peroxisome by micropexophagy. Degradation of a peroxisome by macropexophagy. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of an organelle within a cell. An organelle is an organized structure of distinctive morphology and function. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton. Excludes the plasma membrane. The process by which cells digest parts of their own cytoplasm; allows for both recycling of macromolecular constituents under conditions of cellular stress and remodeling the intracellular structure for cell differentiation. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a peroxisome. A peroxisome is a small, membrane-bounded organelle that uses dioxygen (O2) to oxidize organic molecules. The controlled breakdown of the membranes of cargo-carrying vesicles formed during peroxisome degradation. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of substances, carried out by individual cells. The process by which peroxisomes are delivered to the vacuole and degraded in response to changing nutrient conditions.
