The growing potential of quantum dots (QDs) in biomedical applications has raised considerable concerns regarding their toxicological impact. Consequently, there has been a need to understand the underlying toxicity mechanism of QDs. In this work, we comprehensively investigated the bioaccumulation and toxicity of three CdSe/ZnS QDs (COOH CdSe/ZnS 525, NH2CdSe/ZnS 525, and NH2CdSe/ZnS 625) inPhanerochaete chrysosporium(P. chrysosporium) using confocal laser scanning microscopy, reactive oxygen species (ROS) measurements, and cell viability assays. Confocal laser scanning microscopy analytical results indicated that all the CdSe/ZnS QDs, with the concentration ranging from 10 to 80 nM, could accumulate largely in the hyphae and induce the generation of ROS, showing a direct toxicity toP. chrysosporium. And the bioaccumulation and toxicity of CdSe/ZnS QDs presented dose-dependent and time-dependent effects onP. chrysosporium. Furthermore, the CdSe/ZnS QDs-induced cytotoxicity was also related to their physicochemical properties, including particle size and surface charges: NH2CdSe/ZnS 525 with small size was more cytotoxic as compared to NH2CdSe/ZnS 625 with large size, and the smaller negative charged NH2CdSe/ZnS 525 resulted in greater cytotoxicity than the larger negative charged COOH CdSe/ZnS 525. The obtained results provide valuable information for exploring and understanding of toxicity mechanism of QDs in living cells.
