Abstract: | Protoplasts of uniform size were prepared from mononucleated conidiospores of Sporotrichum thermophile. Conidia were preincubated in glucose yeast extract medium at 45 C for 4 h. The conidia were collected resuspended in buffer containing 0.6 M KCl (as stabilizer), and incubated with Novozyme SP249 and Cellulase CP at 37 C for 6 h. The protoplasts were separated from cell wall fragments and intact conidia by centrifugation over 50% sucrose. The purified protoplasts were regenerated in glucose yeast extract broth after 7 h of incubation at 45 C. |
