Complete hemolysis by the cell suspension of V. damsela Yp-16 isolated from diseased yellowtail was observed after 30, 45, 90, and more than 300 min incubation for tilapia, eel, yellowtail, and human erythrocytes, respectively. Hemolysin released by V. damsela Yp-16 was inhibited by adding Mg^{++} ion to the reaction mixture with human erythrocytes, but not with tilapia erythrocytes. However, if the bacterial suspension or culture supernatant containing Mg^{++} ion at a high concentration was dialyzed against 1% NaCl, hemolytic activity for human erythrocytes was recovered substantially. Hemolysin production in the bacterial cells was repressed by adding antibiotics such as neomycin, chloramphenicol, and polymyxin B to the bacterial suspension. Partially purified hemolysin from the strain Yp-16 was inactivated completely after heat treatment at above 56°C for 30 min. Optical temperature of the hemolysin for tilapia erythrocytes was found at 42°C.}, pages = {9--18}, title = {Production of Hemolysin by a Fish Pathogenic Strain of Vibrio damsela}, volume = {41}, year = {} }
