Photographs showing the hemolysis of sheep blood agar induced by the black fungi. Picture a and b show the hemolysin activity of OM2 and OM4 respectively. Ten microliters of culture suspension were spotted on the sleep blood agar plate. The plate was observed and the diameter of the halo was measured after 2 days incubation. A distinctive translucent halo around the inoculum site was shown in a, which shown positive hemolytic activity of OM2. No halo could be seen in b, and therefore OM4 was considered as no hemolytic activity.
