Formation of interspecies fusants of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Agaricus bisporus</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Agaricus bitorquis</Emphasis> mushroom by protoplast fusion

Interspecies fusants are formed between Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus bitorquis by protoplast fusion technique. Protoplasts were isolated and regenerated by using Novozyme 234 lytic enzyme. Twenty slow growing isolates were separated from the protoplast regenerated colonies, which were assumed as homokaryons (putative homokaryons). These twenty isolates were subjected to growth rate, colony morphology and spawn run studies for screening of true homokaryons. Antifungal markers were developed for selection of fusants.     

Frankia与链霉菌融合子特性的研究

将Frankia菌株CcOl与金色链霉菌GL原生质体融合,得到3株融合子,均具有GL生长快的特性与CcOl的结瘤固氮能力.固体培养时,3株融合子呈现出与GL不同的颜色;且均具有Frankia菌的顶囊形态,以及链霉菌的链状孢子丝结构.与两亲本相同,3株融合子均对大肠杆菌有抗性,其中F4与GL的抗菌谱基本相同.在传10代之后,它们仍具有结瘤与固氮能力.血清学分析表明,F1与F6兼具两亲本的特异抗原,而F4仅具有GL的特异抗原,融合子F1、F6较F4在遗传上更为稳定.
