ELECTROCHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF EXTRACELLULARLY SYNTHESIZED GOLD NANOPARTICLES BY E. COLI Authors: Aggarwal K , BHATIA D AND MALIK DK*
ABSTRACT
The biogenic synthesis of gold nanoparticle is reliable, nontoxic, economical and ecofriendly in
comparison to the conventional synthesis of gold nanoparticles. The synthesis of AuNPs by E.
coli MTCC40 supernatant was confirmed by absorption spectrums and electron microscopy. The
synthesized NPs showed red color and absorption peak at 549 nm. On the basis of transmission
electron microscopy analysis, size of gold nanoparticles was estimated 5-20 nm. In Fourier
Transform Infra red spectroscopy (FTIR), observed absorption peaks corresponding to amine,
amide and carbonyl group were believed to be present on the amino acid residue of protein and
may be responsible for reduction and formation of AuNPs. The extracellular AuNPs were further
utilized for surface modification by Self assembled monolayer of L cysteine in order to
immobilize them on the gold electrode. Cysteine Modified gold nanoparticles and gold electrode
were characterized by cyclic voltammeter study. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
analysis confirmed the increase impedance with gold nanoparticles for the detection of E. coli.
