Abstract
The toxin isolated from the Florida red tide organism Gymnodinium breve Davis has been assayed for ichthyotoxicity and hemolytic activity. In addition the effect of selected enzymes on both activities has been determined. With one possible exception, no enzyme reduced the ichthyotoxicity of the toxin. Several enzymes reduced the hemolytic activity of the toxin. The action of enzymes as inhibitors of hemolytic activity of this toxin is described, and the implications of the results are presented.
