Abstract

Conditions for isolation of protoplasts from conidiospores of Trichoderma koningii ATCC 26113 were tested. Maximum production of conidial protoplasts was obtained by preincubation of conidiospores on liquid minimal medium for 8 1/2 hrs. and by reaction with cell wall lytic enzyme for 3 hrs. Among effective cell wall lytic enzymes (Driselase, p-Glucuronidase, Novozyme and Zymolyase), Driselase was the most effective one on the production of conidial protoplasts. The production of conidial protoplasts was also enhanced by addition of 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose $(25{\mu}g/ml)$ into liquid minimal medium. Over 70% of the initial swollen conidia, preincubated in liquid minimal medium supplemented with 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose $(25{\mu}g/ml)$, were converted to protoplasts by incubation with 2% (w/v) commercial lytic enzyme Driselase at $28^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs. The reversion frequency of the conidial protoplasts was about 30 times (25-50%) higher than that of mycelial protoplasts (0.6-1.3%).
