Description

Protoplasts prepared from thalli ofBoergesenia forbesii were subjected to the measurement of tension at the surface by means of the suction method. The tension at the surface just after completion of spheration was 0.2–0.4 dyne/cm irrespective of the temperature. Since this value is of the same order of magnitude as those measured in other species of cells without a cell coat, it is suggested that the protoplast just after spheration is covered with the plasma membrane. The measured tension at the surface was constant and not affected by the degree of deformation of the protoplast, suggesting that the surface of the protoplast is not elastic.
