Trichoderma 속의 제균종중에서 10균주를 선별하여 protoplast 형성에 관한 제반조건을 검토하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같았다. 보편적으로 protoplast 형성에 있어서 삼투안정제의 효과는 ${KCI}>(NH_4)_2{SO_4}>NaCl>mannitol>{MgSO}_4$ 순이었으며, 최적농도는 0.6-0.9M 사이에서 결정되었다. Protoplast형성을 위한 DRISELASE의 최적조건은 pH5.0, 효소농도 2%. 반응시간 4시간, 반응온도 $30^{circ}C$ 이었다. NOVOZYM 234의 최적조건은 pH 5.5, 효소농도 1%,반응시간 3시간, 반응온도 $30^{circ}C$ 이었다. Protoplast 생성은 대수증식기 초기와 증기사이의 균사체가 최적이었다. Protoplast 생성에 있어서는 DRISELASE가 효과적이었으나 T. longibruchiatum IAM 13107과 T. viride IAM 5141의 경우에는 NOVOZYM 234가 보다 효과적이었다.
This research was focused on investigation of the general condition for protoplast formation of Trichoderma speues. for protoplast formation, the mycelia cultured in YM medium were collected from each growth phase and were treated with the Iytic enzymes. This procedure was carried out by all strains. The most optimal conditions of NOVOZYM 234 and DRISELASE were determined by T. saturnisporum IAM 12535 and T. longibruchiatum IBM 13107, respectively. The effect of osmotic stabilizers appeared ${KCI}>(NH_4)_2{SO_4}>NaCl>mannitol>{MgSO}_4$ and the optimal concentration of each osmotic stabilizer wns determined by 0.6-0.9 M. The optimal condition of DRISELASE for protoplast formation ; optimal pH 5.0, optimal concentration, 2%, optimal reaction time, 4 hours, and optimal temperature, $30^{circ}C$. The optimal condition of NOVOZYM 234 for protoplast formation ; optimal pH 5.5, optimal concentration 1%, optimal reaction time 3 hours, and optimal temperature $30^{circ}C$. The optimal culture period of mycelia for protoplast formation was between the initial and the middle exponential phase. Generally, DUSELASE was more effective than NOVOZYM 234 on protoplast formation except for T. longibruchiatum IAM 13107 and T. viride IAM 5141.
