AI Article Synopsis
- Enterobacter xiangfangensis Pb204, found in uranium mine acid waste, can produce various shapes of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), including large triangular plates and small spheres.
- The complete genome of this bacterium includes an integrative and conjugative element that could play a key role in the synthesis of these AuNPs.
- This discovery highlights the potential of using microbial processes for producing gold nanoparticles in environmental applications.
Article Abstract
Enterobacter xiangfangensis Pb204, isolated from acid mine decant from a uranium mine, produces a wide variety of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), ranging from large triangular plates to small spherical AuNPs. The complete genome sequence of this isolate incorporates an integrative and conjugative element which may be pivotal to AuNP synthesis.
