Best Answer

Protoplasts are used as starting materials to transfer foreign genes into plants. Protoplast is usually isolated from a cell and inserted into the selected one in a process called protoplast fusion.

Protopalsts are the cells with out the cell walls. The cell walls of these cells are removed either mechanically or enzymatically. Nowadays, these protopalsts are used in the plant tissue culture techniques.

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
