Experimental investigations of behaviour of rhamnolipid biosurfactants as a green stabilizer for the biological synthesis of gold nanoparticles
Authors
Abstract:
Use of biosurfactants as a green stabilizer for the biological synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is now emerging as nontoxic and environmentally acceptable "green chemistry" procedures. Stability of AuNPs at different pHs is very important because our body has different pHs. This paper addresses this issue. In this work, first P. aeruginosa PTCC 13401 was used to produce rhamnolipid biosurfactant. The highest rhamnolipid production occurred at 120 h, achieving a value of 3.1 g/L. The thin layer chromatography (TLC) indicated that the crude product is a mixture of mono-rhamnolipid and di-rhamnolipid with retardation factor (Rf) value about 0.35 and 0.78, respectively. Moreover, rhamnolipid solutions with different pHs were added to HAuCl4 solution and incubated for 24 h at 37˚C and 150 rpm. The formation of spherical AuNPs was monitored using a UV–vis spectrophotometer and verified by TEM. Our results showed that the formation of AuNPs occurred just for pH values between 7.0 -8.0 compared with others pH values. Measurement of the surface tension of the solutions at different pH values was performed to find out the reason for this performance. Our results showed that the surface tension was also stable only between pHs 7.0-8.0. We explained it by the precipitation of rhamnolipid at higher and lower pH values. The results of this work may help the pharmacists to have a good prediction of behavior of rhamnolipid biosurfactants as a green stabilizer for biomedical applications including tissue engineering and drug delivery.

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
