The cell viability is not affected for EB extracts. The EB and WT extracts in Tris and Milli Q water and the EB synthetic peptide (0.03, 3, and 30 μg/ml) did not decrease cellular viability in comparison with medium control (p < 0.001, ANOVA). Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test (*** = 0.001; * = 0.1). The % cell viability was determined by MTT reduction. Urea (4 M) was used as a negative control of cell viability reduction, and MEM medium was used as a positive control of cell viability reduction. (MQ): Milli Q water extracts; (TRIS): Tris Buffer extracts.
