Abstract
In the presence of 10% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Escherichia coli cells or spheroplasts can be easily introduced into Vinca protoplasts by endocytosis. Uptake proceeded quite rapidly; bacterial cells or spheroplasts were found within the cytoplasm of Vinca protoplasts after 10 min of incubation with PVA.
