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

liquid content of the cell
What are the functions of protoplast?
Protoplasts are plant or bacterial cells with the cell wall removed. They are commonly used in genetic engineering, plant breeding, and cell fusion experiments due to their ability to take up foreign DNA, enabling gene transfer and genetic modifications. Protoplast regeneration can also be used in plant transformation and micropropagation techniques.
What is protoplast fusion?
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.

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.
