A simple method is presented for obtaining a large number of monospores in the thallus of Porphyra yezoensis. The method implies two principles: induction of monosporangium formation by allantoin, and liberation of monospores from the cell wall by mild homogenization. The induction of monosporangium formation was accomplished by culturing wild thalli in nutrient-enriched seawater with 10 mM of allantoin for approximately 3 weeks. This high concentration (10 mM) of allantoin suppressed the growth of the thalli compared with lower concentrations (0-1 mM). Thalli cultured for 3 weeks were mildly homogenized with a glass homogenizer and the monospore solution was obtained by filtering with a nylon mesh. The monospores grew normally to thalli. This technique of monospore acquisition is a simple and useful method for the propagation and breeding of P. yezoensis thalli.
