Ultrathin sections of intact mycelia, released protoplast and fused protoplast of Micromonospora rosaria were observed by electron microscopy Intact mycelia showed a typical gram-positive bacterial cell wall structure and mesosomes. Released protoplasts had no cell wall components and fibrous nuclear region was distinguished from cytoplsmic region clearly. Protoplasts which treated with sucrose supplemented buffer were stable. But those treated with buffer without sucrose were extensively damaged, forming mom braneous vesicles. It was surmised that those vesicles originated from the damaged cytoplasmic membrane. High frequency of fusion was achieved by 50%(w/v). polyethylene-glycol 1,000 Fusion bodies in different stage of fusion were observed. Cell membrane barrier was stepwise relieved.
