Abstract  This study aims to develop a method for isolating and purifying protoplasts/vacuoles from fresh leaves of the Cd hyperaccumulator plant species, Sedum alfredii. The results revealed that preheating cellulase and macerozyme at 50 °C for 5 min significantly accelerated the cell wall degradation. For the most optimal conditions for mesophyll protoplast isolation, the mixture of fresh leaves and cell lysates was followed by a 2-h–long vibration. The protoplast lysate for vacuole isolation was diluted, and 0.675 mmol/L was identified as the most appropriate 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonic acid (CHAPS) level, in which S. alfredii large vacuoles are characterized by a high metal and malic acid content. For the best vacuole purification results, we established that 0.8 mol/L was the most optimal mannitol level in the vacuole buffer in terms of vacuole protection during centrifugation, whereas a Ficoll concentration of 0.10 g/ml was adopted in the density-gradient centrifugation.
