Cell walls of Cephalosporium acremonium mycelia were lysed by enzyme preparations from either Helix pomatia (snail) digestive juice or Cytophaga. The yield of protoplasts depended on the lytic-enzyme preparation and the age of the culture, and it increased after the mycelia were pretreated with dithiothreitol. A cell-free preparation, obtained by osmotic lysis of protoplasts, synthesized labelled penicillin N from L-[14C]valine. Approx. 0.03-0.06% of the amino acid was incorporated into penicillin N. Under conditions of penicillin N synthesis, the broken-protoplast preparation failed to produce significant amounts of cephalosporin C or its precursors, deacetylcephalosporin C and deacetoxycephalosporin C.
顶头孢霉菌丝体的细胞壁可被来自苹果螺(蜗牛)消化液或噬纤维菌的酶制剂裂解。原生质体的产量取决于裂解酶制剂和培养物的菌龄,并且在用二硫苏糖醇预处理菌丝体后产量会增加。通过原生质体的渗透裂解获得的无细胞制剂从L-[14C]缬氨酸合成了标记的青霉素N。约0.03 - 0.06%的氨基酸被掺入青霉素N中。在青霉素N合成的条件下,破碎的原生质体制剂未能产生大量的头孢菌素C或其前体,去乙酰头孢菌素C和去乙酰氧基头孢菌素C。
