In this work, microwires of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were grown using the fungus Aspergillus niger as a biological template. Au NPs were synthesized through the reduction of chloroauric acid using monosodium glutamate (MSG) in an aqueous media. The MSG here, served as a nutritional trigger behind the self-organization of Au NPs on Aspergillus niger apart from being the reducing as well as stabilizing agent. The fungal hyphae coated with gold nanoparticles were spread over the glass slide. The ZnO/ZnS core/shell nanostructures were deposited in a 2 mm gap of gold microwires’ spread. Uric acid sensing behavior of these ZnO/ZnS core/shell nanostructures were studied using the gold microwires as electrode.
