摘要
Microbial reduction and intracellular precipitation of gold was achieved at 25 degrees C and pH 7 by using the mesophilic anaerobic bacterium Shewanella algae with H-2 as the electron donor. The reductive precipitation of gold by S. algae was a fast process: 0.1-1 mol/m(3) AuCl4(-) ions were completely reduced to insoluble gold within 30 min. The biogenic precipitates were crystalline gold nanoparticles of 10-20 nm present in the periplasmic space. The reducing power of S. algae at 3.2 x 10(15) cells/m(3) and 25 degrees C was comparable to that of aqueous citric acid solution (chemical reductant) at 20 mol/m(3) and 50 degrees C. The intracellular recovery of gold is potentially attractive as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional methods. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
