Optimization of the Cytotoxic Activity of Three Streptomyces Strains Isolated from Guaviare River Sediments (Colombia, South America)

Table 5

Determination of the nitrogen source that improved the cytotoxic percent at 100 ppm of the Streptomyces extract for prostate (PC3), lung (A549), and breast (MDA-MB-231) tumour lines. The results are expressed as an average ± standard deviation (n=3).
