O-SWCNTs can internalize in S. cerevisiae cells via direct penetration and endocytosis, and distribute in cytoplasm, vesicles, lysosomes and cell nucleus. Besides, O-SWCNTs (188.2 and 376.4 mg/L) can induce apoptosis in S. cerevisiae cells, and oxidative stress is involved in activation of the mitochondria-dependent apoptotic pathway.
