In the current work, cell-free extracts of four strains of non-pathogenic Enterococcus species of food origin, were studied for the green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The AuNPs were evaluated for their Anopheles garnbiae larvicidal, dye degradation, antioxidant and thrombolytic activities. The blue-black colloidal AuNPs which absorbed maximally at 549-552 nm were nearly spherical in shape, and crystalline in nature with size of 8-50 nm. The EDX spectra showed formation of AuNPs to the tune of 89-94%. The prominent FTIR peaks obtained at 3251-3410, 2088 and 1641-1643 cm(-1) alluded to the fact that proteins were involved in the biofabrication and capping of AuNPs. AuNPs degraded methylene blue and malachite green by 24.3-57.6%, and 88.85-97.36% respectively in 24 h, whereas at 12 h, larvicidal activities with LC50 of 21.28-42.33 mu g/ml were obtained. DPPH scavenging activities of 33.24-51.47% were obtained for the biosynthesized AuNPs. The AuNPs prevented coagulation of blood and also achieved 9.4-94.6% lysis of blood clot showing potential nanomedical applications. This study has presented an eco-friendly and economical synthesis of AuNPs by non-pathogenic strains of Enterococcus species for various nanobiotechnological applications.
