The effect of C60 "micronized fullerene was tested by a manual and automatised (Analyzer Bioscreen C(R)) micromethod on the microbial growth of 22 collection strains: E. coli (5), P. aeruginosa (2), S. Typhimurium (6), S. aureus (2), L. monocytogenes (2), E. hirae (1), B. cereus (1), B. subtilis (1), B. pumilus (1) et C. albicans (1). No effect on microbial growth was observed with C60 "micronized fullerene (43.2 microg/ml) on all strains studied: no difference was found with doubling time, slope and growth rate constant. The results of cytotoxicity obtained with animal models or in vitro cultures as human monocyte, leukocyte or macrophage confirm the absence of effect of C60 fullerene at a concentration compatible with microbial or biological models. This study is included in research program headed "Therapeutics perspectives of fullerenes.
