Protoplast, from ancient Greek (prtóplastos, "first-formed"), is a biological term proposed by Hanstein in 1880 to refer to the entire cell, excluding the cell wall, but currently has several definitions:* a plant, bacterial or fungal cell that had its cell wall completely or partially removed using either mechanical or enzymatic means. A further differentiation can be made for bacteria: * protoplasts: have their cell wall entirely removed and are derived from gram + (gram-positive) * spheroplasts: have their cell wall only partially removed and are gram (gram-negative) * more generally, a unit of biology which is composed of a cell's nucleus and the surrounding protoplasmic materials. |
