The discovery of bacteria produces pure gold

in #news7 years ago

Bacteria that feed on toxins, and graduated gold!

The gold seen in the picture was not extracted from mines or rivers, but through a species of bacteria capable of living in a highly toxic medium capable of producing 24-carat gold, researchers at the University of Michigan said.

This sounds like an incredible story or myth from the myths of the ancients, but it is actually real, and how it works has been published in a scientific journal.

These bacteria are called "Delftia acidophores" and have the ability as King Midas to convert gold, but bacteria is not its pre-emptive purpose, it produces it as a defense mechanism.

The dissolved gold ions in the water are toxic, so when the bacteria sense their presence, they release the protein Dilptipactin A, where the protein acts as a defensive barrier and converts the toxins into harmless molecules that accumulate outside the cell.

Although the amount produced by bacteria is small, it can someday be used to extract gold, and find its molecules in the riverbeds.

But do not waste all your money in this way; believing that it will save us from the repercussions of the global financial crisis.

Professor Kashivy and his colleague Brown have been working on a laboratory to convert gold chloride (a toxic chemical compound found in nature) into pure gold (99.9%), which will make it a bit better.

Kashifi says:

We make microbial alchemy, and turn something worthless, knowing it costs some money, into precious metal

These bacteria have a great resistance to the toxin. It has been found to be 25 times stronger than previously thought. Bacteria are placed with the toxin for a week. Meanwhile, they work to decompose toxic substances and produce gold.

A process that is believed to be constantly occurring in nature, in other words yes, these bacteria bathe gold.

It seems that the medieval Khimeaeae in their search for the Philosopher's Stone were looking in the wrong place, since the magical element was not a stomach but a germ.

so you need to get dirty to make money. ok

Bitcoin mining looks pale to Delftia acidopores mining.
You said it does not work but imagine instead of computers you have huge tanks with that bacteria to create gold :D
