AbstractThe current investigation introduces the utilization of cell culture mediums as a novel source for the one plot synthesis as well as stabilization of metal nanoparticles. By varying the medium constituents we could control the size and shape distributions of the gold nanoparticles. Nanospheres of diameter 24 +/- 6 nm and 19 +/- 5 nm were produced using DMEM and M199 mediums respectively, nanoneedles of 150 +/- 50 nm using RPMI medium and nanoflowers of 60 +/- 25 nm using IMDM medium, with an overall yield of 91 +/- 2%. A remarkable decrease in the reaction duration (
