FAQ

Is it effective against any type of filamentous fungus?
Aspergillus oryzaeTrichoderma reesei,T.viride,T. koningiican be used to prepare protoplasts very efficiently and in reduced amounts.
OtherAspergillusIf protoplasts are difficult to obtain from Ascomycetes, Zygomycetes, and Basidiomycetes, including those of the genus Pseudomonas, we recommend using it in combination with 0.5% cellulase "Onozuka" R-10.
