Protoplast formation and regeneration in Bifidobacterium.
Conditions for protoplast formation and cell wall regeneration in the genus Bifidobacterium are described. The ability to form protoplast in high percentage varied according to the species considered. High reversion levels were obtained with the species B. bifidum var. pennsylvanicus, B. thermophilum and B. boum.
