    AnnotationThe cytotoxic effects of ten methanol extracts obtained from soil filamentous cyanobacteria (Anabaena, Calothrix, Nodularia, Cylindrospermum, Tolypothrix, Trichormus) were studied. Two different mammal cell lines (YAC-1, WEHI) were selected for cytotoxicity testing using the MTT test and flow-cytometry (FC). For comparison, the brine shrimp assay (using Artemia as a testing organism) was performed. The composition of extracts was studied using HPLC-MS. Both MTT and FC found the cytotoxic effect in 6 of 10 tested cyanobacterial extracts, but these results did not correlate with those obtained by brine shrimp assay. In Anabaena torulosa,Cylindrospermum sp. the most severe damage was recorded by both methods. In cells treated by the extract of A. torulosa, 100% inhibition was found already after 60-minute exposure. Induction of necrosis was revealed by FC, since all tested cells were marked by propidium iodide indicating disruption of the cellular membrane.
