RE: Bacteria eat toxic metals and produce gold
That is very cool. Isn't it amazing how microbes can adapt to their environment. They not only live, but thrive in the harshest conditions on our planet.
I remember when Thermos Aquaticus was found living in boiling water pools. Then scientist were able to use enzymes from this bacteria (Taq) to promote polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to create many DNA copies for further research. Cool huh 😀
