Fig. 2From: Anticancer activities of ethanol extract from the Antarctic freshwater microalga, Botryidiopsidaceae sp.Antiproliferative effects and morphological changes of human cancer cells treated with ETBO. Antiproliferative activity of ETBO was measured in four different cancer cell lines treated with its different concentrations (0 - 50 μg/mL) for 24 h (a) and treated with 12.5 μg/mL of ETBO for 72 h (b). Morphological changes were observed in the cancer cells treated with or without different concentrations (12.5 and 25 μg/mL) of ETBO for 72 h (c). The cell viability was assessed by MTT assay. The results are shown as the means ± SD, n = 3. *p < 0.01, **p < 0.001 between the control and ETBO-treated group.
