Data expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). for statistically significant difference between microalgae extracts and the ratio. Significant level: 0.010 < p ≤ 0.05, significant ∗; 0.001 < p ≤ 0.010, very significant∗∗; and p ≤ 0.001, highly significant ∗∗∗. The symbol “- “indicates no IC50 estimated.
