    <abstract language="eng"><p>Lactic acid bacteria commonly named as probiotics have a broad range of utilization area in human diet and food industry. Besides these known properties of probiotics, in recent years many researchers have focused on their anti-genotoxic called DNA-bioprotective effects.  Human gets exposure with genotoxins such as mycotoxins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and <i>n</i>-nitroso-compounds through diet and environmental contaminations. Aflatoxin B<sub>1</sub> is mycotoxin which was reported one of the most potent hepato-carcinogen and its exposure stems from human diet. In this study, we aimed to investigate DNA-bioprotective effect of <i>Lactobacillus plantarum</i> on human colon adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) cells against Aflatoxin B<sub>1</sub> (AFB<sub>1</sub>) with comet assay without metabolic activation. The results showed that DNA-bioprotective effect of <i>L. plantarum </i>did reduce the AFB<sub>1</sub>’s genotoxic effect on colon adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) cells. Positive control (50 μM H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> applied) and high dose (&gt;10ppm) AFB<sub>1</sub> applied cells have the same comet tail appearance. Only visual scoring is performed.  Besides negative control cells (Only PBS) and <i>Lactobacillus plantarum</i>+AFB1 mixture showed the same manner with each other; no comet tail detected. These results clearly indicate that <i>L. plantarum</i> is capable of reduce AFB<sub>1</sub> safely without producing any by-products.</p>
