- Abstract
- The fabrication of reliable, green chemistry processes for nanomaterial synthesis is an important aspect of nanotechnology. The biosynthesis of single-pot room-temperature reduction of aqueous chloroaurate ions by Streptomyces hygroscopicus cells has been reported to facilitate the development of an industrially viable greener methodology for the synthesis of technologically important gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Multidimensional AuNPs are generated via the manipulation of key growth parameters, including solution pH and reaction time. The synthesized nanostructures are characterized by UV/Vis and energy dispersive X-ray analysis studies. Particle morphology is characterized by HRTEM, FE-SEM and BioAFM. Additionally, we have demonstrated the electrochemical and antibacterial properties of AuNPs via cyclic voltammetry analysis and a minimal inhibitory concentration assay. Owing to the drawbacks of chemical synthesis, a biological synthesis method has been developed to generate biocompatible, inexpensive and eco-friendly size-controlled nanoparticles.
