However, these coatings greatly increase the size of the particle, making uptake by microorganisms impossible. We find that adenine- and AMP-conjugated QDs are able to label bacteria only if the particles are &lt;5 nm in diameter. Labeling is dependent upon purine-processing mechanisms, as mutants lacking single enzymes demonstrate a qualitatively different signal than do wild-type strains. This is shown for two example species, one gram negative and one gram positive. Wild-type\n            <jats:italic>Bacillus subtilis<\/jats:italic>\n            incubated with QDs conjugated to adenine are strongly fluorescent; very weak signal is seen in mutant cells lacking either adenine deaminase or adenosine phosphoribosyltransferase. Conversely, QD-AMP conjugates label mutant strains more efficiently than the wild type. In\n            <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n            , QD conjugates are taken up most strongly by adenine auxotrophs and are extruded from the cells over a time course of hours. No fluorescent labeling is seen in killed bacteria or in the presence of EDTA or an excess of unlabeled adenine, AMP, or hypoxanthine. Spectroscopy and electron microscopy suggest that QDs of &lt;5 nm can enter the cells whole, probably by means of oxidative damage to the cell membrane which is aided by light.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/aem.71.5.2548-2557.2005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,3]],"date-time":"2005-05-03T18:08:24Z","timestamp":1115143704000},"page":"2548-2557","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":208,"title":["Uptake of CdSe and CdSe\/ZnS Quantum Dots into Bacteria via Purine-Dependent Mechanisms"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"71","author":[{"given":"J.
