Hello again guys and gals,
-- Had a rather silly idea: What if you fuse a plant with a yeast?
How do you think it would best be cultured? What would the resulting cell wall structure/ potential tissue look like?
Hypothetically, one could isolate plant and yeast protoplasts and use PEG to fuse them. Then culture them in some trade-off medium maintaining the osmoticum needed to keep both from popping...assuming that one wont pop in the other's medium. Then embed them in alginate to keep everything together and plate on media with hormones for the plant part and...umm...yeah. Stumped on that front...
Assuming its a true symetric hybrid, what would the resulting cell's needs be? More toward yeast aerobics/anarobics? Sugar would be shared between plant and yeast so thats a given...and it would maintain osmoticum for the most part.
Do you think the CO2 produced by the yeasts fermentation would fuel the photosynthesis and resulting oxygen aid in aerobics in the yeast? Massive assumptions here and I know very little about yeast. Dont feel like "cheating" and looking things up on wiki. I also cant find any literature on this matter at all. Has this ever been done before?
Pardon the mind vomit, just had a thought and wanted to share. :)
