Abstract A method for protoplast formation and regeneration suitable for Lactobacillus reuteri strains was developed.Lysozyme-treated cells formed protoplasts at a high percentage and regenerative ability varied according to the strains considered.Moreover, production and regeneration of protoplasts promoted the loss of plasmids harboured by the strains.
