This experiments was designed for development of Fusarium oxysporum strains with enhanced activity of polygalacturonase by means of mutants and protoplasts fusion. Six auxotrophic mutants of F. oxysporum were induced by treatment of MNNG. Protoplasts from mutants were formed from early exoponential mycelium after treatment with driselase(10 mg/ml) using 0.6 M KCl as osmotic stabilizer. Fusion experiments between protoplasts of several auxotrophic mutants were done using polyethyleneglycol 8,000 and $CaCl_2$. The frequency of fusion was $5.0{ imes}10^{-3}$ as determined from several experiments. Activity of polygalacturonase was determined by the methods of modified DNS. Consequently, the polygalacturonase activities of mutants and fusant derived F. oxysporum were 1.4 to 3.5 times greater than that of the parental strain, and mutant Fx-2 seemed to be the best strain. Thus, the method we used seemed to be favorable for the improvement of strains.
