Abstract:

To establish an efficient protoplast preparation system and PEG-mediated genetic transformation system for Pochonia chlamydosporia, mycelial culture time, lysing enzyme types, enzymatic hydrolysis time/temperature, osmotic stabilizer type and its pH value were systematically investigated. Protoplast preparation was optimized through single-factor experiments. Plasmid DNA transformation was performed via PEG-mediated method, with genetic stability of transformants evaluated. The results showed that optimal preparation conditions were 24-h-old mycelia cultured in PDB medium at 26 ℃, treated with 20 mg·mL-1 lysing enzymes (driselase) in 0.7 mol·L-1 NaCl (pH 7.5) at 30 ℃ for 5 h, which yielded 3.05×106 mL-1 protoplasts from 0.5 g mycelia. Protoplast regeneration rate reached 6.2% on regeneration medium. PEG-mediated transformation achieved 45% efficiency with stable inheritance. Transformants showed no significant differences from the wild strain in colony morphology, growth rate and conidium yield. This study successfully established efficient protoplast preparation and genetic transformation system for P. chlamydosporia, providing crucial technical support for functional genomics research and genetic engineering applications in biocontrol mechanisms.
