摘要

In this study, protoplasts were successfully isolated from Kappaphycus alvarezii using snail enzymes, abalone enzymes and cellulase. The optimum enzymic ratio was fixed to be 20% of abalone enzyme, 12% of cellulase and the osmotic stabilizer was 2.0 mol/L glucose. The optimum enzymic hydrolysis conditions were found to be dark enzymolysis at 30A degrees C continuing for 4.0 h. The resultant density and yield of protoplasts achieved 32.60x10(4) mL(-1), 65.20x10(4) g(-1) tissue for Kappaphycus alvarezii. Finally, under the temperature of 20A degrees C, light intensity of 1 500-2 000 lx and photoperiod of 12 h/d, two developmental pathways were investigated: (1) callus-like cell mass and regenerated plantlet occurred on protoplast; (2) young shoots and callus-like cell mass occurred in tissue blocks after enzymolysis.
