Abstract Protoplasts were isolated from thalli of Dictyopteris prolifera using a mixture of crude enzymes from vicera of live oysters (Crassostrea gigas) and the following commercial enzymes: an abalone enzyme, cellulase, polygalacturonase and hemicellulase. The enzyme mixtures produced up to 3.3 × 107 cells per l g of tissue fresh weight. The conversion to protoplasts of the cells was about 100% using the oyster enzyme or the abalone enzyme alone. The optimum pH for protoplast isolation was 6.0 and 20 hours were required for conversion to protoplasts.
