Abstract: | Protoplast and spheroplast preparations allow the transfer of macromolecules into cells and provide the basis for the generation of engineered organisms. Crypthecodinium cohnii cells harvested from polyethylene glycol-containing agar plates possessed significantly lower levels of cellulose in their cortical layers, which facilitated the delivery of fluorescence-labeled oligonucleotides into these cells. |
