New Insights into the Cellular Toxicity of Carbon Quantum Dots to <i>Escherichia coli</i>

In this study, the cytotoxicity and toxic mechanism of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) to <i>E. coli</i> were evaluated in vitro. The synthetic CQDs were extremely small in size (~2.08 nm) and displayed strong fluorescence. The results demonstrated that CQDs showed good biocompatibility with...
