In the present investigation, we developed a simple bio-based synthesis of gold nanorods employing blue pigment produced by Streptomyces coelicolor klmp33 using microwave irradiation. The pigment used to reduce HAuCl4 in solution to yield gold nanorods with in 120 s. The gold nanorods were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy; transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, X-ray difraction（XRD） and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FTIR）. The bio-based synthesis developed in this method is safe, eco-friendly, rapid and appropriate way for bulky synthesis of gold nanorods.展开更多
