Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protoplast fusion involves merging the cell membranes of two cells to create a hybrid cell. For this process, cells must first be stripped of their cell walls without damaging the cell membrane. Lysozyme is used to digest the peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls, while chitinase is used to break down the chitin in yeast cell walls. Therefore, the choice of enzyme (lysozyme or chitinase) depends on whether the cells being fused are bacteria or yeast, respectively.
