The presented work deals with the uptake of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) by M13 phages in solutions. In particular, the Au NPs uptake modalities and their localization in the filamentous phages are evaluated and measured. Gold spherical nanoparticles (with an average diameter of the order of 10 nm) are obtained by laser ablation in water with a sodium citrated surfactant. The interest of such application comes from the possibility to employ living biological structures to transport heavy metallic nanoparticles inside cells of tumoral tissues. Indeed, phages have the capability to introduce Au NPs in the proximity to the cell nucleus, increasing the efficiency of DNA destruction in the tumoral cells by employing low doses of ionizing radiation during radiotherapy and hyperthermia treatments. Several analyses and microscopy characterizations of the prepared phages samples embedding gold nanoparticles are presented, demonstrating that the presence of Au NPs increases the phages imaging contrast.
