In this research work different shapes and sizes of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized through an intracellular biogenic approach, exploiting the chloroauric acid reducing and Au-0 stabilizing potential of Laccaria fraterna EM-1083 mycelia. The intracellularly synthesized AuNPs exhibits anti-quorum sensing inhibitory potential against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The synthesized AuNPs were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy; transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The characterization proved that the successful synthesis of highly stable crystalline AuNPs with various shapes. Here we tested inhibitory activity of AuNPs on QS-regulated biofilm development and pyocyanin production traits of P. aeruginosa. The qualitative and quantitative data demonstrated that AuNPs significantly inhibited the biofilm formation and pyocyanin production. In summary, our results signify the future use of intracellularly synthesized AuNPs in P. aeruginosa mediated diseases.
