These SLs with open acidic form are highly suitable for QDs stabilization, are readily obtained by a fermentation process of the yeast Candida bombicola (polymorph Starmerella bombicola) in large amounts. In this work chemically stable, water soluble, and photoluminescent CdTe QDs were successfully conjugated to sophorolipids via a cross-linking reaction. The formation of SLs conjugated CdTe QDs was confirmed using different analytical techniques X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Electron Diffraction (ED), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), and Photoluminescence (PL). It was shown that after being conjugated with SL the SL-CdTe QDs becomes biocompatible, still maintaining its water solubility and photoluminescence properties. The final SL coated photoluminescent CdTe QDs represent interesting biocompatible materials potentially useful for biomedical applications.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Council of Scientific &amp;amp; Industrial Research (CSIR) - India&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.708

We describe a simple assay that allows the photoluminescence (PL) detection of H2O2 and glucose in aqueous samples and demonstrate its applicability by estimating glucose in blood. To enable the glucose detection, we functionalized the 3-mercaptopropanoic acid (MPA) capped CdTe QDs with glucose oxidase (GOx), the enzyme specific to b-D-glucose, using carbodiimide chemistry. The fluorescence of the GOx-functionalized CdTe QDs was quenched on the interaction with glucose. The same photoluminescence quenching was also observed in gel form, when a GOx modified CdTe QDs loaded agarose gel was dipped in H2O2 and glucose solutions, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">47</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.626
