Scientist and Researchers from the Michigan State University had discovered bacteria that can tolerate immense amount of toxicity and can also create 24 carat gold.
The researchers found that the bacteria named 'Cupriavidus metallidurans' is metal tolerant bacteria which can grow on huge concentration of gold chloride which itself is a very toxic chemical compound found in nature.
The researchers fed the bacteria with mismatched amounts of gold chloride, intimating the process they believe happens in nature. In about a week, the bacteria transformed the toxins and produced a gold nugget.
The researchers used a combination of biotechnology, art and alchemy to turn liquid gold into 24-carat gold.
It is now being called as Microbial alchemy - transforming gold from something that has no value into a solid, precious metal that's valuable.
