Abstract
Tolaasin is a bacterial paptide toxin which is produced by Pseudomonas tolaasii. It forms pores in the cellular membranes, causing the brown blotch disease on the cultivated oyster mushroom. Previously, we showed that tolaasin-induced pore formation required the multimerization of tolaasin molecules. In order to measure the ionic effect on the tolaasin multimerization, the time course of tolaasin-induced hemolysis was measured in the presence of various cations and anions.(omitted)
