Abstract

Nanotechnology is a cutting-edge field with diverse applications, particularly in the utilization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) due to their stability and biocompatibility. AuNPs serve as pivotal components in medical applications, with a specific emphasis on their significant antibacterial efficacy. This study focuses on synthesizing AuNPs using the cell-free supernatant of MSK03, isolated from terrestrial soil in Thailand. The biosynthesis process involved utilizing the cell-free supernatant of MSK03 and hydrogen tetrachloroauric acid (HAuCl) under controlled conditions of 37 °C and 200 rpm agitation. Characterization studies revealed spherical AuNPs with sizes ranging from 7.1 to 40.0 nm (average size: 23.2 ± 10.7 nm), as confirmed by TEM. UV-Vis spectroscopy indicated a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) band at 545 nm, while XRD analysis confirmed a crystalline structure with characteristics of cubic lattice surfaces. The capping molecules on the surface of AuNPs carry a negative charge, indicated by a Zeta potential of -26.35 mV, and FTIR analysis identified functional groups involved in reduction and stabilization. XANES spectra further confirmed the successful reduction of Au to Au. Moreover, the synthesized AuNPs demonstrated antibacterial activity against drug-resistant strains of and Interestingly, the AuNPs showed non-toxicity to Vero cell lines. These significant antibacterial properties of the produced nanoparticles mean they hold great promise as new antimicrobial treatments for tackling the increasing issue of antibiotic resistance.
