Abstract
⺠Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were synthesized using a glucan isolated from an edible mushroom. ⺠Glucan acts as both reducing and stabilizing agent. ⺠Au NPs were characterized by UV-visible, HR-TEM, XRD, FE-SEM and FT-IR analysis. ⺠Au NPs-glucan bioconjugates functioned as catalyst in the reduction of 4-NP. ⺠The effect of gold loading and particle size on reduction rate of 4-NP was studied.
