    Abstract

    Novozym 234, a commercially available enzyme, has been used successfully to prepare protoplasts from yeast-like cells, mycelium and chlamydospores of the polymorphic fungus Aureobasidium pullulans. Use of the density gradient material Percoll after wall digestion resulted in preparations of high purity that were metabolically active. Size distributions of protoplasts were determined easily using Coulter analysis.
