The unicellular freshwater green alga Penium margaritaceum has become a novel and valuable model organism for elucidating cell wall dynamics in plants. We describe a rapid and simple means for isolating protoplasts using commercial enzymes in a mannitol-based buffer. Protoplasts can be cultured and cell wall recovery can be monitored in sequentially diluted mannitol-based medium. We also describe an optimized protocol to prepare highly pure, organelle-free nuclei fractions from protoplasts using sucrose gradients. This technology provides a new and effective tool in Penium biology that can be used for analysis of cell wall polymer deposition, organelle isolation and characterization, and molecular research including genetic transformation and somatic hybridization. |
