Crystal Growth and Kinetic Behaviour of <i>Pseudoalteromonas espejiana</i> Assisted Biosynthesized Gold Nanoparticles

<div>Influence of different temperatures on AuNPs biosynthesis kinetics based on ICP-OES analysis. Maximum AuNPs production was achieved at 30°C because the enzyme activity is supposedly the maximum at that temperature followed by 28°C enzyme was least active at 40°C thus lowest conversion rate of precursor gold to AuNPs. The enzyme substrate ratio was kept constant, <span class="nowrap"><svg height="12.4698pt" id="M10" style="vertical-align:-3.18147pt" version="1.1" viewbox="-0.0498162 -9.28833 84.632 12.4698" width="84.632pt" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,0,0)"><path d="M290 -163V-135C183 -126 181 -122 181 -44V583C181 662 184 666 290 675V703H120V-163H290Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,4.485,0)"><path d="M517 162C503 123 484 88 467 68C445 42 417 34 341 34C291 34 256 34 237 47C219 59 213 81 213 128V317H308C395 317 402 311 415 240H444V431H415C403 364 398 356 307 356H213V584C213 613 215 616 246 616H322C394 616 421 609 435 587C448 566 458 544 467 502L496 506C493 557 488 625 488 650H42V622C120 616 128 612 128 523V125C128 43 120 35 29 28V0H511C520 31 540 125 546 158L517 162Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,11.897,0)"><path d="M226 -163V703H56V676C162 667 165 662 165 584V-43C165 -122 162 -126 56 -136V-163H226Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,16.382,0)"><path d="M116 412C83 412 59 388 59 355C59 321 83 297 115 297S170 321 170 355C170 388 147 412 116 412ZM114 -12C147 -12 171 11 171 46C171 78 147 103 115 103C84 103 60 78 60 46C60 11 84 -12 114 -12Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,22.319,0)"><path d="M290 -163V-135C183 -126 181 -122 181 -44V583C181 662 184 666 290 675V703H120V-163H290Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,26.804,0)"><path d="M614 175C564 76 510 21 408 21C256 21 146 149 146 336C146 488 235 629 402 629C510 629 570 586 597 480L626 488C620 541 614 582 606 638C578 643 510 665 429 665C206 665 44 527 44 316C44 157 153 -15 402 -15C474 -15 558 5 586 11C604 45 629 119 643 165L614 175Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.0091,0,0,-0.0091,35.481,3.132)"><path d="M673 0V28C608 34 594 43 563 129C499 303 432 494 370 665L339 656L132 132C98 43 84 37 20 28V0H238V28C162 35 154 45 175 108C188 150 203 192 219 237H432C454 176 474 122 487 83S491 36 428 28V0H673ZM418 280H234C265 362 296 450 328 535H330L418 280Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,42.291,0)"><path d="M226 -163V703H56V676C162 667 165 662 165 584V-43C165 -122 162 -126 56 -136V-163H226Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,50.408,0)"><path d="M535 323V373H52V323H535ZM535 138V188H52V138H535Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,61.671,0)"><path d="M412 140C382 77 369 73 315 73H129L270 222C362 320 402 379 402 466C402 571 322 635 234 635C177 635 130 609 99 576L42 495L64 475C90 514 133 568 201 568C274 568 318 519 318 435C318 349 255 267 193 193C144 135 87 78 32 23V0H405C417 45 427 89 440 131L412 140Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,71.543,0)"><path d="M116 412C83 412 59 388 59 355C59 321 83 297 115 297S170 321 170 355C170 388 147 412 116 412ZM114 -12C147 -12 171 11 171 46C171 78 147 103 115 103C84 103 60 78 60 46C60 11 84 -12 114 -12Z"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,78.139,0)"><path d="M285 378C315 398 338 416 353 432C373 451 384 474 384 503C384 579 325 635 236 635H235C182 635 136 610 108 579L65 516L85 496C110 533 150 575 205 575C258 575 300 543 300 481C300 407 232 369 141 339L147 310C163 315 188 321 211 321C268 321 338 284 338 192C338 94 288 40 217 40C160 40 119 68 93 91C85 98 77 97 69 91C60 84 47 71 46 58C44 46 48 35 62 22C75 10 116 -12 162 -12C234 -12 424 62 424 224C424 297 373 359 285 376V378Z"></path></g></svg>,</span> the pH was maintained at 9 with substrate concentration of 1 mg/L and agitation speed of 150 rpm throughout the reaction.</div>
