Abstract
Bachmann and Bonner1 were able to obtain free protoplasts from Neurospora crassa, if this fungus was cultivated in thick liquid media, such as 20 per cent sucrose and 10 per cent enzyme preparations. Protoplasts emerge through pores in the hyphal walls. The authors showed, by means of a microscopical photo-series, that the protoplasts regenerate to form a complete new fungus mycelium.
