Studies reporting on potentially toxic interactions between aqueous fullerene nanoparticles (nC60 ) and microorganisms have been contradictory. When known confounding factors were avoided, growth yields ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae andEscherichia coli cultured in the presence and absence of independently prepared lots of underivatized nC60 were found not to be significantly different.
