Abstract
The crude aqueous extract of a field collected strain of Microcystis aeruginosa (Kütz) showed antiviral activity against influenza A virus. The concentration for 50% inhibition of virus replication in MDCK cells was 11 μg dry extract/mL. The virus specific protein synthesis decreased if the extract was present over the whole time of replication. Furthermore protease inhibitory activity was estimated for the crude aqueous extract and subextracts. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
