“…A recent paper used aqueous, ethanolic and hexanoic extracts of Agave potatorum to synthesize AuNSs, where spherical AuNSs were obtained for the aqueous and hexanoic extracts while the ethanolic extracts gave anisotropic AuNSs (e. g. trigonal, nanorod etc.). [42] Flavonoid/reducing sugar ratio and flavonoid/total phenolic ratio were < 1 and < 0.1 only for the ethanol extracts, respectively. Comparing the aqueous extract and the hexanoic extract, there were some AuNSs deviated from spherical morphology, which could have relation with the flavonoid/total phenolic ratio, which were 0.68 and 0.91 for the extracts, respectively.…”

We performed a comparative study using aqueous extracts of dandelion flowers and blueberry fruits to synthesize gold‐ (Au) and silver‐ (Ag) nanostructures (NSs). The blueberry extracts gave nanowire and spherical AuNSs upon changing the ratio of the extracts to Au3+precursor while altering the ratio for the dandelion extracts resulted in formation of only anisotropic AuNSs. Similar results were obtained during the AgNSs, where the dandelion extracts resulted in formation of quasi‐spherical AgNSs at the tested ratio (extract/AgNO3 ratio) while altering the ratio for the blueberry extracts resulted in nanorod and nanoplates formation. We argued that this could be from dominancy of a lone compound or a group of compounds and tested this claim by introducing chrysin and amino acid mixtures to the blueberry extracts. Altering the added chrysin amount triggered nanoplate and spherical AuNSs formation while alteration in amino acid mixture content did not change the morphology, and spherical AuNSs were obtained. The antibacterial studies revealed the AgNSs are toxic to Pseudomonas aeruginosa with 8 μg/mL MBC (minimum bactericidal concentration) and 3 μg/mL values for the blueberry and dandelion extracts synthesized AgNSs while penicillin/streptomycin sulfate mixture carrying Dandelion‐AuNSs gave 12‐times lower MBC value in comparison to free penicillin/streptomycin sulfate mixture.
