Popis: Autoclaved solutions of the fusogen Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) give reduced yeast protoplast reversion and hybrid formation. Autoclaving has been shown to cause PEG degradation and increase the acetaldehyde content. Consequently, membrane filtration is recommended as the optimum means of sterilising PEG solutions to ensure maximum protoplast reversion and hybrid yield.
