Abstract: | Summary The conditions for effective isolation of viable protoplasts from Laminaria japonica with an alginase produced by marine bacterium Alteromonas sp. and a commercially available cellulase were investigated. The highest yields of viable protoplasts (7.910.4x106 cells g–1 FW) were obtained with a hypertonic solution containing 50 % seawater, 25 mM MgCl2, 5 mM HEPES buffer system, and 0.5 M mannitol. Protoplasts were not obtained from thalli of L. japonica when an abalone alginase (abalone acetone powder; AAP: Sigma) was used instead of the bacterial alginase. The isolated protoplasts were cultured in an PESI medium at 5 °C. Complete cell wall formation was observed within 7 days, and dividing cells were first observed in a 9-day-old culture. Some protoplasts regenerated into sheet-shaped thalli and rhizoid structures were also observed on some thalli after 30 to 40 days in culture. This is the first report of protoplast regeneration into plantlets of L. japonica Areschoug (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae).Abbreviations FW Flesh weight - AAP Abalone acetone powder - HEPES N-2-hydroxy-ethylpiperazine-N-2-ethanesulfonic acid - Tris Tris(hyrdoxymethyl)aminomethane - PESI Provasoli's enriched seawater with iodine |
