Abstract In this study, protoplasts were successfully isolated from Kappaphycus alvarezii using snail enzymes, abalone enzymes and cellulase. The optimum enzymic ratio was fixed to be 20% of abalone enzyme, 12% of cellulase and the osmotic stabilizer was 2.0 mol/L glucose. The optimum enzymic hydrolysis conditions were found to be dark enzymolysis at 30°C continuing for 4.0 h. The resultant density and yield of protoplasts achieved 32.60×104 mL−1, 65.20×104 g−1 tissue for Kappaphycus alvarezii. Finally, under the temperature of 20°C, light intensity of 1 500–2 000 lx and photoperiod of 12 h/d, two developmental pathways were investigated: (1) callus-like cell mass and regenerated plantlet occurred on protoplast; (2) young shoots and calluslike cell mass occurred in tissue blocks after enzymolysis.

1 Introduction Kappaphycus alvarezii belongs to Rhodopyta, Florideae, Gigartinales, Solieriaceae and Kappaphycus. It is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical sea areas. Kappaphycus seaweed is the main raw material to produce carrageenan, thus it is widely used in textiles and food. In addition, owing to its high pharmaceutical value (Jiang et al., 2008), economic value as well as ecological significance (Tseng, 1983; Zeng, 2001), there is a great demand for Kappaphycus both in the domestic and foreign markets. As a crucial biological material for research purpose, protoplast without cell wall obstacles can be widely used in the study of cell biology, somatic cell crossbreeding, genetic transformation and gene positioning (Wang and Yao, 2009). Meanwhile, the culture of protoplasts is an important plant somatic cell breeding technology. By now, the photoplasts isolation and cultivation have been performed on more than 30 algae including Rhodophyta, Chlorophyta and Phaeophyta (Wang et al., 1996; Wu, 1988; Chu et al., 1998; Wang et al., 2007; Zhang, 1983; Hu, 2006; Araki and Morishita, 1990; Ma et al., 1998; Chen and Chiang, 1994; Chen, 1993; Reddy and Fujita, 1991; Della et al., 1991; Reddy et al., 1992; Xie and Ma, 2004; Kim et al., 2002; Zha and Kloareg, 1996; Zhang, 1991).
