It could be one of the greatest events in the history of the gold market or a very funny story to remember |

Introducing the microbe with the Midas touch posted on October 4, 2012, at 11:55 AM "Cupriavidus metallidurans can eat toxins and poop out gold nuggets," says Jesus Diaz at Gizmodo. "Cupriavidus metallidurans can eat toxins and poop out gold nuggets," says Jesus Diaz at Gizmodo. Photo: Thinkstock/Stockbyte Researchers at Michigan State University have discovered bacteria with the remarkable ability to turn toxic chemical compounds into 24-karat gold. The breakthrough, detailed in a combination art and biotechnology exhibition called "The Great Work of the Metal Lover," is described by researcher Adam Brown as modern day "neo-alchemy." Here's what you should know: What is this bacteria, exactly? The microbe, Cupriavidus metallidurans, possesses the unique ability to survive in extremely toxic environments. A few years ago, researchers discovered the bacteria growing on gold nuggets at two separate sites hundreds of miles apart in Australia. That got scientists thinking: Does this bacteria just happen to live in the vicinity of gold, or do they actually create gold? Well... do these bacteria actually turn chemicals into gold? Yes. Kazem Kashefi, assistant professor of microbiology and molecular genetics, and Adam Brown, associate professor of electronic art and intermedia, discovered that C. metallidurans could grow and prosper if placed on gold chloride, an otherwise worthless yet toxic chemical. Using a portable laboratory made out of the bacteria, a glass bioreactor, and 24-karate gold-plated hardware, the team continually fed the bacterium "unprecedented amounts of gold chloride," says R&D Mag. Not only were the bacteria extraordinarily resistant to gold chloride's toxicity, but in about a week, they converted the toxic chemical into 99.9 percent pure gold. The details are a bit complicated, says Jesus Diaz at Gizmodo, but basically, "Cupriavidus metallidurans can eat toxins and poop out gold nuggets." What does this mean for gold production? Although the Michigan State University experiment was successful, it could be "cost prohibitive to reproduce [this] experiment on a larger scale," says R&D Mag. So don't expect to grow your own gold at home anytime soon. [link to theweek.com] |

Will bacteria destroy gold market or a trick at key resistance price? great idea! But you have to BUY gold chloride, unless you have figured out a way to shit that out from say, eating hamburgers or oranges. here is the cost of gold chloride: [link to www.saltlakemetals.com] Seeing that 100 ml of gold chloride solution costs like 100 bucks and yields around 1 gram of elemental gold metal I guess you are really coming out ahead, no? $100 bucks for a gram of gold. And of course no one is out there separating gold chloride via chemical means without bacteria involved. I tell ya...you guys are brilliant. There MUST be quite a few billionaires on this site! :D |
