protoplast (medicine)


protoplast
<biology> A bacterial cell deprived of its cell wall, for example by growth in an isotonic medium in the presence of antibiotics that block synthesis of the wall peptidoglycan. Alternatively, a plant cell similarly deprived by enzymic treatment.


Pyramus and Thisbe (sh)




Hero and heroine of a Babylonian love story related in Ovid's Metamorphoses.

Their parents forbade them to meet, so they communicated through a hole in the wall between their two houses before at last deciding to run away together. They agreed to meet at a mulberry tree. Arriving first, Thisbe was scared away by a lion, which shredded the veil she dropped when she fled. Pyramus, finding the veil, believed her dead and stabbed himself; she returned and, finding Pyramus dying, killed herself. The fruit of the mulberry tree, white until then, was stained dark purple by the lovers' blood.
