Applying the Midas touch: Differing toxicity of mobile gold and platinum complexes drives biomineralization in the bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans

The β-Proteobacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34, which dominates biofilm communities on natural gold (Au) grains, is a key species involved in their (trans)formation. Gold(III)-chloride complexes, with toxicity levels similar to those of Hg- and Ag-ions, are rapidly sorbed by C. metallidurans c...
