Researchers reported the presence of bacteria on gold surfaces but have never clearly elucidated their role. Now, an international team of scientists has found that there may be a biological reason for the presence of these bacteria on gold grain surfaces.The experiments showed that C. metallidurans rapidly accumulates toxic gold complexes from a solution prepared in the lab.
Wide-field, high resolution imaging, huge data storage and manipulation capabilities plus highly automated sample preparation techniques are yielding research results 100-times, or more, faster than ever before. As a result, a number of high-ranking research institutes are adopting these remarkable instruments.
