Abstract:
Methods of labeling, identifying and differentiating microorganisms using functionalized Buckyballs are provided herein. The invention further provides methods for imaging or inhibiting gene expression using functionalized Buckyballs of the invention. The invention also provides a system for labeling, identifying and differentiating microorganisms.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of selectively labeling a specific species of microorganism in a sample, the method comprising:\n a) functionalizing a Buckminsterfullerene molecule with one or more RNA oligonucleotides complementary to one or more species specific signature RNA sequences of the microorganism in the sample; b) hybridizing the one or more RNA oligonucleotides to protecting layers comprising segments of DNA or RNA and a detectable label; and c) contacting the sample with the functionalized Buckminsterfullerene molecule for a period of time; wherein, the detectable label is not detected when the protecting layers are hybridized to the one or more RNA oligonucleotides and the detectable label is detected when the protecting layers are not hybridized, thereby selectively labeling a specific species of microorganism in the sample.
