摘要

We found that a whole cell suspension of Alexandrium taylori, which is toxic to Anemia, causes species-specific hemolysis against mammalian erythrocytes. Among the erythrocytes tested, rabbit and guinea-pig erythrocytes were highly sensitive, but human, sheep, and cattle erythrocytes were insensitive. The cell-free culture supernatant also showed potent hemolytic activity toward rabbit erythrocytes as seen in whole cell suspension. The hemolytic activity in the culture medium gradually increased with increase in cell number during exponential growth phase, and relatively high activity was maintained even after reaching the death phase. These results suggest that the hemolytic substance is actively released into the medium from A. taylori cells rather than simple leakage from ruptured or dead cells, and a part of them are steadily accumulated in the medium during the algal growth. Chemical characterization with ultrafiltration and trypsin-treatment suggested that the hemolytic substance released into the medium is protein-like compound with molecular weight more than 10,000 Da. The ammonium sulfate precipitated fraction obtained from the cell-free supernatant of A. taylori showed cytotoxic effect on HeLa cells as well as the hemolytic activity in a similar concentration range on a protein content basis. Our results suggest that A. taylori produces a novel proteinaceous hemolytic exotoxin.
