Mycosporine like amino acids are small extra-cellular metabolites, which are produced by diverse group of microorganisms including cyanobacteria; possess photo protectant and antioxidant action. The goals of this work include increasing the productivity of Mycosporine like amino acids in cyanobacteria, identification and description of these metabolites using Fourier transform infrared and high-performance liquid chromatography, and evaluation of the cytotoxic activity of the investigated cyanobacterial extracts in vitro. The outcomes extend the current knowledge of Mycosporine like amino acids biomedical utility and lay the foundation for the development of their therapeutic potential.
