Asp.wentii와 Asp.nidulans의 원형질체 재생은 2-DG가 30$mu g$/ml 첨가된 포자현탁액을 4시간 전배양 할 때 적당하였고 ergosterol, myoniositol, casamino acid, BSA가 함유된 CBE 재생용 배지에서 효과적이었으며, 30 이상 재생률을 나타내었다. 원형질체 융합은 10mM $CaCl_2$가 함유된 pH7.5의 30PEG 4000으로$37^{circ}C$ 에서 10분간 처리했을 때 가장 양호하였으며, 융합빈도는 $8.2 imes 10^{-4}$을 나타내었다. 가장 우수한 융합주인 FWN-56은 CMCase, avicelase, $eta$-glucosidase 및 xylanase를 동시에 분비하였으며 친주에 비하여 활성이 2.3배, 1.5배, 1.8배, 2.5배 각각 증가하였고, 또한 MM에 4중 이상 보관 후의 segregant율이 1 이내였으므로 유전적 안정성은 높았으며, 분생포자 DNA함량은 1.4-1.6배였다. 또한 핵의 크기도 친주에 비하여 큰 것으로 보아 융합주임을 확인하였다.
Regeneration of protoplast was effective by preincubating spore suspension containing 30$mu g$/ml of 2-DG for 4 hours, and CBE medium containing casamino acid, bovine serum albumin, ergosterol and myoinositol was found to be more efficient than any other regeneration medium tested in this experiment. The regeneration frequency was about 30%. Optimal conditions for conidial protoplast fusion were obtained by treatment of protoplasts with 10 mM $CaCl_2$ and 30% polyethylene glycol 4000 (pH 7.5) as fusogenic agent at $37^{circ}C$ for 10 minutes. The fusion frequency was $8.2 imes 10^{-4}$. The higher productivity of enzyme of fusant FWN-56 was achived: 2.3-fold for CMCase, 1.5-fold for avicelase, 1.8-fold for $eta$-glucosidase and 2.5-fold for xylanase compared to that obtained in two parental strains. The genetic stability of fusant after maintenance on minimal medium for more than 4 weeks was high because segregant rate was below 1%. The conidial DNA content of fusant was 1.4-1.6 times higher than that of the parental strains, The nucleus size of fusants were also higher than that of each parental strains
