Does the aquatic bacteria called Delphitia acidovorans make gold?


New York, Saturday, November 20, 2021

Diseases come to mind just by hearing the name of bacteria. Although it is known that some bacteria have a positive effect on digestion in the body, it would be surprising to know that bacteria make gold. Scientists believe that bacteria turn special ions particles in water into strong gold. The process may seem like a fairy tale to any biochemist but it is also real.


Scientists at MacArthur University believe that the bacterium is called Delphitia acidovorans. This change in gold in the process is part of the bacterial self-defense system. When the gold particles in the water are exposed to the toxic particles, the bacteria release a protein called delfty baciton. This protein acts as a shield for bacteria and converts toxic particles into pure particles that accumulate outside the cells.

However, the amount of protein released by bacteria is very small. Because the size of the whole particle is about 5 to 20 nanometers. However, it is certain that this research has given rise to the idea that sometimes the gold particles found in water by bacteria or proteins will be known more. Not only this, with the help of gold you can also find rivers and streams
