Cellulase R-10, also called Cellulase "Onozuka" R-10, is derived from Trichoderma Viride. Cellulase R-10 is a multi-enzymatic system consisting of various enzymes, including cellulase, hemicellulase, pectinase and protease. Cellulase R-10 is typically used in association with macerozyme R-10 in the decomposition of plant cell walls to produce protoplasts.

Cellulase “Onozuka RS” is produced by a mutant Trichoderma viride that was derived from the parent strain for Cellulase “Onozuka -R-10”. Cellulase RS contains a very high activity of decomposing natural celluloses. This type of cellulase can be used to obtain protoplasts in a very short time and dissolves cell walls of a wider range of plants.

Macerozyme R-10 is a macerating enzyme from the Rhizopus sp. which is perfectly suited for the isolation of plant cells. Macerozyme R-10 is often used in combination with Cellulase "Onozuka R-10" in the isolation of plant protoplasts.

Trypsin is a serine protease found in the digestive system of many vertebrates where it hydrolyzes proteins. Through trypsinisation, it cleaves peptides at the carboxyl side of arginine and lysine, unless they are followed by a proline.

Trypsin has an optimal operating pH of about 7.5-8.5 and optimal operating temperature of about 37°C. Unlike chymotrypsin, the activity of trypsin is not affected by the inhibitor tosyl phenylalanyl chloromethyl ketone (TPCK).
