Abstract:
Protoplast release in Eremothecium ashbyii, Trichoderma reesei, and Penicillium chrysogenum was achieved using commercially available enzymes, Novozyme 234 and Funcelase. A rapid release of protoplasts was observed in E. ashbyii, yielding nearly 4.0 x 10(7) protoplasts ml-1 in 10-35 min. The regeneration frequency of protoplasts from T. reesei, P. chrysogenum, and E. ashbyii using Funcelase was 51.77, 28.32, and 7.64%, respectively, and was higher in comparison with Novozyme-derived protoplasts.
