Abstract

The first part of this protocol involves the removal of yeast cell walls using the Zymolase enzyme. The resulting spheroplast cells can then be used as template for PCR. This quick and easy to implement protocol describes how to prepare spheroplasted yeast cells for colony PCR.

Materials and Reagents

  1. Spheroplasted yeast cells
  2. Zymolase 20 T [AMS Biotechnology (Europe)]
  3. Sorbitol
  4. Sodium phosphate
  5. Zymolyase solution (see Recipes)

Equipment

  1. Sterile pipette tips
  2. Standard laboratory PCR machine
  3. Wooden toothpicks
