Inhibitory effects of cadmium and hydrophilic cadmium telluride quantum dots on the white rot fungus Phanerochaete velutina by Florian Part, Christian Zafiu, Eva-Kathrin Ehmoser, Mika A. Kähkönen

“…The different EC50 values indicate that the nanoparticle coatings have a strong influence on the inhibitory effects, as the organic ligands used for surface passivation prevented the leaching of acute toxic Cd ions from the metallic QD core. Compared to CdCl2, the CdTe QDs were less inhibitory to the formation of fungal metabolites and their decolorization ability on co-exposed textile dyes. …”
