An Aqueous Extract of Marine Microalgae Exhibits Antimetastatic Activity through Preferential Killing of Suspended Cancer Cells and Anticolony Forming Activity

Figure 1

Microalgae extract suppresses the replication of adherent cancer cells. (a) Morphology of suspended marine microalgae (40x magnification). (b) Cells of multiple cancer cell lines were incubated with microalgal extract (0, 1, 2, and 5 mg/mL) for 72 h and the growth inhibition was determined using the MTT assay. The data represent results of 3 independent experiments. Mean values ± SD (error bars) are shown. ; ; .
