A tropical jellyfish, Rhopilema nomadica (Scyphozoa, Rhizostomeae) has recently invaded the eastern Mediterranean. Its painful stings have been the bane of bathers and fishermen from Egypt to Turkey. This paper reports on the presence of haemolytic activity and alpha-chymotrypsin-like serine protease activity in the venom of the R. nomadica nematocysts. In addition, the presence of phospholipase A2 activity, which has been described previously, is confirmed. Some properties of these activities are defined.
一种热带水母，即 nomadica 硝水母（钵水母纲，根口水母目）最近入侵了地中海东部。其刺痛令人痛苦，一直困扰着从埃及到土耳其的游泳者和渔民。本文报道了硝水母刺丝囊毒液中存在溶血活性和α-糜蛋白酶样丝氨酸蛋白酶活性。此外，先前已描述过的磷脂酶A2活性的存在也得到了证实。还确定了这些活性的一些特性。
