The 'moving wall' represents the time period between the last issueavailable in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal.Moving walls are generally represented in years. In rare instances, apublisher has elected to have a 'zero' moving wall, so their currentissues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication.Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted.For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 yearmoving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available. Terms Related to the Moving Wall Fixed walls: Journals with no new volumes being added to the archive. Absorbed: Journals that are combined with another title. Complete: Journals that are no longer published or that have beencombined with another title. Methods for producing protoplasts from fungi are described. Protoplast release occurs after enzymatic digestion of the whole or part of the cell wall and knowledge of its composition and structure are thus of considerable interest.

Isolated protoplasts have proved to be very useful in the investigation of fundamental problems and are providing a useful tool for current work on cell wall synthesis and morphogenesis in fungi. Undoubtedly protoplasts have potential for further uses, some of which are discussed.

.Part of thebook series (MYCOTA, volume 2) AbstractIn the 40 years since the first reported isolation of protoplasts from filamentous or mycelial fungi (Peberdy 1971), these structures have become central to research in several key areas of fungal biology. The switch in focus in genetics from the classical to a molecular approach is the major factor. Two genetic techniques, protoplast fusion and transformation, together with electrophoretic techniques to determine the molecular karyotype of fungi are all dependent on the effective use of protoplasts. As a consequence, other aspects of research that employ protoplasts have benefited more generally. At the beginning, protoplasts held high curiosity value but their scientific potential was not fully realized. However, as the desire to extend the protoplast isolation technique to more and more fungi has occurred, correspondingly more attention has been given to improving this essential process.

One outcome has been an overall improvement in protoplast yields for many fungi, which in turn has reawakened the interest of researchers addressing cell biological, physiological, and biochemical questions and led to the adoption of protoplasts as experimental tools wherever relevant.
