  Development of eco-friendly and novel method for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles is one of the most popular and emerging aspect of nanobiotechnology. In this report, Gnidia glauca leaf and stem extract are used to synthesize gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). As compared to other biological methods, the syntheses were extremely rapid leading to complete reduction within 20 min. Transmission and high resolution transmission electron micrographs clearly indicated that majority of the bioreduced nanoparticles were spherical within a size range of 10 to 60 nm. Exotic shapes like gold nanotriangles and nanohexagons were found in a range between 100 to 300 nm. Dynamic light scattering validated the size range that was observed in TEM and HRTEM. Unique pattern confirming the self-assembly of spheres into anisotropic nanoparticles of larger dimensions was exhib.. View More»
