Abstract:
The hemolysins of Serpulina hyodysenteriae are active at 27 to 40 degrees C and pH 3 to 9 and are unaffected by enzymatic inhibitors. Pore formation was demonstrated by the inhibition of hemolysis with molecules of 2.0 to 2.3 nm in diameter and the release of 86rubidium from erythrocytes without hemoglobin release after exposure to native hemolysin.
