Five different plant cell wall degrading enzymes were tested for their ability to release p -hydroxybenzoic acid from carrot alcohol insoluble residue (AIR) and cellulose fraction. Phenolics of AIR from cell wall materi민 (CWM) in carrot were found to consist primarily of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (1,977 $\mu$g/g AIR) with minor contribution from vanillin (55.9 $\mu$g/g AIR), ferulic acid (13.6 $\mu$g/g AIR) and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (10.6 $\mu$g/g AIR). The contents of ferulic acid in Driselase, Cellulase, Macerozyme R-200, Macerozyme R-10 and Sumyzyme MC were 2,319, 2,060, 391, 95.2, 34.1 $\mu$g/g, respectively. Incubation of Driselase with AIR released only 2.8$\%$ of the total 4 M NaOH extractable p-hydroxybenzoic acid. These results indicate that commercial five plant cell wall dograding enzymes can not release P-hydroxybenzoic acid from carrot AIR and cellulose fraction.

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%).

This research was focused on investigation of the general condition for protoplast formation of Trichoderma speues. for protoplast formation, the mycelia cultured in YM medium were collected from each growth phase and were treated with the Iytic enzymes. This procedure was carried out by all strains. The most optimal conditions of NOVOZYM 234 and DRISELASE were determined by T. saturnisporum IAM 12535 and T. longibruchiatum IBM 13107, respectively. The effect of osmotic stabilizers appeared ${KCI}>(NH_4)_2{SO_4}>NaCl>mannitol>{MgSO}_4$ and the optimal concentration of each osmotic stabilizer wns determined by 0.6-0.9 M. The optimal condition of DRISELASE for protoplast formation ; optimal pH 5.0, optimal concentration, 2%, optimal reaction time, 4 hours, and optimal temperature, $30^{\circ}C$. The optimal condition of NOVOZYM 234 for protoplast formation ; optimal pH 5.5, optimal concentration 1%, optimal reaction time 3 hours, and optimal temperature $30^{\circ}C$. The optimal culture period of mycelia for protoplast formation was between the initial and the middle exponential phase. Generally, DUSELASE was more effective than NOVOZYM 234 on protoplast formation except for T. longibruchiatum IAM 13107 and T. viride IAM 5141.

This experiments was designed for development of Fusarium oxysporum strains with enhanced activity of polygalacturonase by means of mutants and protoplasts fusion. Six auxotrophic mutants of F. oxysporum were induced by treatment of MNNG. Protoplasts from mutants were formed from early exoponential mycelium after treatment with driselase(10 mg/ml) using 0.6 M KCl as osmotic stabilizer. Fusion experiments between protoplasts of several auxotrophic mutants were done using polyethyleneglycol 8,000 and $CaCl_2$. The frequency of fusion was $5.0{\times}10^{-3}$ as determined from several experiments. Activity of polygalacturonase was determined by the methods of modified DNS. Consequently, the polygalacturonase activities of mutants and fusant derived F. oxysporum were 1.4 to 3.5 times greater than that of the parental strain, and mutant Fx-2 seemed to be the best strain. Thus, the method we used seemed to be favorable for the improvement of strains.

Sphacelaria is a filamentous brown algal genus that can be epibiotic on macroalgae, marine plants, and sea turtles. Its important role in benthic ecosystems, exposure to different stressors (e.g., grazing), and use as a model organism make Sphacelaria ideal for assessing physiological responses of organisms to environmental inputs. Single-cell RNA sequencing is a powerful new probe for understanding environmental responses of organisms at the molecular (transcriptome) level, capable of delineating gene regulation in different cell types. In the case of plants, this technique requires protoplasts ("naked" plant cells). The existing protoplast isolation protocols for Sphacelaria use non-commercial enzymes and are low-yielding. This study is the first to report the production of protoplasts from Sphacelaria fusca (Hudson) S.F. Gray, using a combination of commercial enzymes, chelation, and osmolarity treatment. A simple combination of commercial enzymes (cellulase Onozuka RS, alginate lyase, and driselase) with chelation pretreatment and an increased osmolarity (2512 mOsm/L H₂O) gave a protoplast yield of 15.08 ± 5.31 × 10⁴ protoplasts/g fresh weight, with all the Sphacelaria cell types represented. Driselase had no crucial effect on the protoplast isolation. However, the increased osmolarity had a highly significant and positive effect on the protoplast isolation, and chelation pretreatment was essential for optimal protoplast yield. The protocol represents a significant step forward for studies on Sphacelaria by efficiently generating protoplasts suitable for cellular studies, including single-cell RNA sequencing and expression profiling.

Protoplast production from Trichoderma koningii ATCC 26113 was investigated for the purpose of doing basic and applied researches by protoplast fusion of the cellulolytic filamentous fungus. High yields of protoplast were obtained by using the 18hr. old mycelia treated with the lytic enzyme Driselase of Kyowa Fermentation Co., Japan, in 0.6M $MgSO_4\;or\;(NH_4)_2SO_4$ as osmotic stabilizers. The optimum temeprature of mycelial digestion was about $28^{\circ}C$ and the number of protoplast increased rapidly after 3hr. digestion. Protoplasts produced at different periods showed distinct morphological heterogeneities in the whole size and the size of vacuole.

A method isolating Populus euramericana cv. I-214 mesophyll protoplasts was developed to facilitate application of genetic engineering techniques to this species. The suitable medium for shoot multiplication in vitro was MS basal medium with $0.1mg/{\ell}$ BAP. The effects of several factors influencing protoplast isolation could be evaluated quickly by using leaf in vitro and known volumes of maceration and washing media. The best yields of mesophyll protoplasts were obtained using leaves in vitro in 2.0% Cellulase R-10, 0.8% Macerozyme R-10, 1.2% Hemicellulase, 2.0% Driselase, 0.05% Pectolyase Y-23, and O.6M Mannitol in addition to DTT and MES buffer adjusted to pH 5.6. Over $2.4{\times}10^6$ protoplasts per gram of leaf were produced using these conditions. For protoplast purification, the most favorable sucrose concentration of floating solution was 0.6M after washing them with CPW solution. This method of screening factors affecting protoplast isolation could be applicable to other species.

The optimum conditions for protoplast formation and regeneration from Pyricularia oryzae Cav. were selected as follows. As a basic solution, 0.02M potassium phosphate buffer solution plus 0.6M KCl adjusted to pH 5.2 with 1N HCl was used. A mixture of enzyme combinations with 20mg Cellulase R-l0/ml, 5mg Macerozyme R-l0/ml and l0mg Driselase/ml used as a lytic enzyme showed better lytie effect than any single enzyme treatment for protoplast formation. Two-day-old mycelia of P. oryzae grown in the mixture of three lytie enzyme solution at $30^{\circ}C$ for 3 hr showed best condition for protoplasts formation. For regeneration from the protoplasts of P. oryzae, potato dextrose agar containing 0.02M potassium phosphate plus 0.6M KCl used as a stabilizer was best for regeneration medium.

Protoplasts of Arabidopsis thaliana were easily isolated from the shoot-forming (SF) suspension-cultured cell clusters with 4 hours-shaking condition (40 rpm) on CPD enzyme solution containing 1% cellulase R-10, 0.25% pectolyase Y-23 and 0.5% driselase. Protoplasts were cultured on liquid KAO medium supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.5 mg/L kinetin, 200 mg/L spermidine and 68 g/L glucose. Also, protoplasts were cultured on 0.2 $\mu$M membrane filter placed onto CP solid medium containing the suspension cells as feeder cells in the dark at $25^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks. Protoplast-derived-SF calli were cultured on MS medium containing 0.05 mg/L IAA, 7 mg/L 2 ip and 30 g/L sucrose under the continuous illumination for four weeks. The frequency of shoot formation was about 60%. The regenerants were transferred into potting soil to grow mature plants. The regenerants formed the silques with seeds after 8 weeks of cultures.

For the effective utilization of cellulosic biomass, conidial protoplast fusion between Aspergillus niger MAN-831(${\beta}-glucosidase$) and A. wentii MAW-538(CMCase and avicelase), which produced potently cellulolytic enzymes was carried out. Optimal conditions for formation and regeneration of protoplast were conidiospore age-5 dyuas. $2-DG-30\mu\textrm{g}/ml$, preincubation time-4 hours, osmotic stabilizer-0.7M KCl, novozyme(7mg/ml)＋driselase(2.5mg/ml) and reaction time of enzyme-5 hours. Optimal conditions for protoplast fusion were obtained by treatment of protoplasts with 15mM CaCl2 and 25% polyethylene glycol 4000(pH 6~7) as fusogenic agent at $36^{\circ}C$ for 25~30 minutes. The frequency was then $7.94{\times}10^{-4}$. CMCase, avicelase and ${\beta}-glucosidase$ activity of fusant F-208 strain was 1.5, 1.3, 1.2 times higher than those of parental strains, respectively.
