| spheroplast |
(formerly also sphaeroplast) A microbial or plant cell from which most of the cell wall has been removed, usually by enzymic treatment. Strictly, in a spheroplast, some of the wall remains, while in a protoplast the wall has been completely removed. In practice, the two words are often used interchangeably. See protoplast.
