Protoplasts are formed from gram-positive cells in the presence of lysozyme, which destroys the cell wall. L forms are gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria that do not make a cell wall. Therefore, L forms never had or made a cell wall as opposed to protoplasts which used to have a cell wall, but no longer do because it was destroyed. Penicillin can be used to destroy the cell wall of a bacterial gram-positive cell and form a protoplast, but in the presence of Penicillin, if a new bacterial cell is forming and cannot create a cell wall, then it will become an L form.

What are the functions of protoplast?
Protoplast consist of nuclus and cytoplast. So protoplast help in protein synthesis.
Is the green colour pigment in the leaves called protoplast?
No, it is not protoplast
What is Protoplast Fusion in Becterial cell?
it is a technique by which protoplast cells are fused to get new hybrid.
What cells contain nuclei that separate DNA from the rest of the cell?
plant cell has mainly two parts namely Cell wall & protoplast. protoplast contain cytoplasm and nucleus. the answer for this question is protoplast.
What is symplastic water movement?
movement of water from protoplast to protoplast via plasmodesmata, but avoiding the vacuole.
What is protoplast and spheroplast?
a protoplast is aliving substance of the cell. it has the same consistency with that of the egg and is a colloidal substance with a sol-gel manner.
How would you use the word protoplast in a sentence?
A protoplast has had its cell wall entirely removed, leaving it naked and vulnerable before a lusty audience.
What is a first organized particle?
A protoplast.
What are the difference between protoplast and spheroplast?
The term protoplast refers to the spherical shape assumed by Gram-positive bacteria. Spheroplast refers to the spherical shape assumed by Gram-negative bacteria. The difference is essentially the presence of a single membrane, in the case of the protoplast, and the two membranes (inner and outer) of the Gram-negative spheroplasts. It is also possible to generate a gram-negative protoplast by the removal of the outer membrane. Thus, in essence, protoplast refers to a bacterial sphere that is bounded by a single membrane and spheroplast refers to a sphere that is bounded by two membranes
What is the difference between protoplast and protoplasm?
Protoplast is spherical completely cell wall deficient form assumed by gram(+) bacteria.It is produced by mechanical or enzymatic action.Presence of only single membrane.It cant be transformed to spheroplast.It can be used for membrane biology,DNA transformation. Whereas spheroplasts are almost completely cell wall deficient form assumed by gram(-) bacteria.It is produced by the action of penicillin.Presence of two membranes-outer & inner.It may possible to generate a gram(-)protoplast by removal of outer membrane.It is used for study of ion channels through patch clamp,transfection.
What is the connection of protoplast with cell?
liquid content of the cell
What type of solution will lyse protoplast?
A hypotonic solution.
