Abstract: | A biogenic route was adopted towards the synthesis of gold nanoparticles using the extract of a novel strain, Talaromyces flavus. Reduction of chloroauric acid by the fungal extract resulted in the production of gold nanoparticle, which was further confirmed by the concordant results obtained from UV–visible spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis. Morphology and the crystal nature of the synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). A direct correlation was observed between nanoparticle formation and the concentration of reducing agent present in the fungal extract. The time-dependent kinetic study revealed that the bioreduction process follows an autocatalytic reaction. Crystalline, irregular, and mostly flower-shaped gold nanoparticles with a mean hydrodynamic radius of 38.54?±?10.34 nm were obtained. pH played a significant role on production of mono-dispersed nanoparticle. FTIR analysis partially deciphered the involvement of –NH2, ?SH, and –CO groups as the probable molecules in the bio-reduction and stabilization process. Compared to the conventional methods, a time-resolved, green, and economically viable method for floral-shaped nanoparticle synthesis was developed. |
