[Method for producing spheroplasts from yeast cells]
Abstract
A method for producing spheroplasts from yeast cells has been developed. The method involves: 1) prefreezing and thawing of cells in the minimal nutrient medium; 2) treatment with the mixture of 86 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 5% sodium dodecylsulphate and 6% Triton X-100; 3) enzymic digestion by the digestive juice of grape helix. The formation of spheroplasts was controlled by microscopy and measurement of the optic density of the spheroplast suspension in the incubation medium and in 1% sodium dodecylsulphate. The method has been successfully tested on some bakery yeast: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces paradoxus, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Saccharomyces globosus, Saccharomyces carlsbergensis.
