Abstract

Glycophorins (GPs) in red blood cell (RBC) membranes of carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) exhibit bacteriostatic activity against various gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. To clarify the physiological activity of teleost fish GPs other than those from carp, we performed a sensitivity test using GP preparations from the RBC membranes of yellow tail and red sea bream. The sensitivity test for the growth of Micrococcus luteus was performed using the disc-plate method. These results suggested that the yellow tail and red sea bream GPs exhibit antibiotic activities.
