The process of regeneration of Candida utilis and Pichia polymorpha protoplasts obtained by means of an enzyme preparation from Streptomyces violaceus M R and an enzyme preparation from the snail (Helix pomatia) was followed with the electron microscope. A reticular network of fibrils making up a tube or surrounding the regenerating protoplasts was observed. The fibrils are glucan fibrils, and in C . utilis they are packed in groups of 5 or 6. P. polymorpha fibrils occurred singly. The fibrils are the framework for building the new cell wall. The relation between fibrils and plasmalemma particles is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
