Electron properties of carbon nanotubes in a transverse magnetic field are studied using a model of a massless Dirac particle on a cylinder. The problem possesses supersymmetry which protects low-energy states and ensures stability of the metallic behavior in arbitrarily large fields. In metallic tubes we find suppression of the Fermi velocity at half-filling and enhancement of the density of states. In semiconducting tubes the energy gap is suppressed. These features qualitatively persist (although to a smaller degree) in the presence of electron interactions. The possibilities of experimental observation of these effects are discussed.
