Scientists Develop Bacteria That Produce Gold

Frank Reith from the University of Adelaide and his team to modify a type of bacteria genetically. Once modified, these bacteria can produce extract gold from the environment and the precious metal in the vicinity.

There are several bacteria that are associated with known gold material. But it is still not clear whether the bacteria played a role in the gold produced or not.

Reith and his team found that gold is now apparently hurt late for one type of bacteria called Cupriavidus Metallidurans.

"Materials gold could inhibit bacterial enzyme function. We met with the gold material, microbial gene activates the 'golden poison'. This gene produces an enzyme that can change the soluble gold compounds into metallic gold particles that can damage the bacteria," Reith was quoted as saying by the Times of India, Tuesday (13/10/2009).

Reith and his team then see this as an opportunity for a lucrative new technique.

"When microbes exposed to contact with the substance of gold, they took out the light that can be detected use traditional hand-held Photometer," Reith said.

By genetically modifying the bacteria and the use of light detected on the Photometer, loss of bacteria turned into an advantage to produce gold from base metal material around the bacteria.

We are Earth Couple

Glad that I am having great bounding with the earth by studying it at university and with my interest in outdoor activities, for example to go camping, just to get closed with one of natural energy balance to the earth system. I remember my first field trip and camp, it was nearly 11 years a go when I was a highschool student. Back then it was so hard to find outdoors equipment, only few brand and few stores here in my city that sell outdoors equipment such, hiking boots, sleeping bags, tents, backpacks, etc, and because of not many stores, the price also really high. So then I borrowed all the equipment from my senior, for the hiking boots, backpack and pants. Thank god, I’m having great senior, and we have great times. We enjoy the fresh air, with green valey view. Amazing.

Going outdoors been my daily vacation with my wife, since I got married 1,5 years a go. We go at least 1 times in a month. Now, of course I have my own hiking bootsand backpacks. Also have my own personal collection for all the outdoors equipment.

Really waiting for my next hiking, with hubby.... :), We love outdoors activity. It always so much fun.
