Geologists find bacteria that takes traces of gold and turns them into nuggets
Truly inspired research!
Decade long close collaboration of MHM-Group with Prof DH Nies’ group at the University of Halle-Wittenberg in Germany is bearing important fruit.
After years of careful planning and experimentation three ground-breaking papers now reveal the biochemistry of how the aurophilic (i.e., gold-loving) bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans detected to date on natural gold particles from sites on four continents, deals with gold toxicity and produces gold nanoparticles, the building blocks of secondary gold, in the processes.

Proteomic responses to gold(III)-toxicity in the bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34
Promotion conferred! Finally Professor!
Congratulations to AProf Frank Reith, here seen taking a well-deserved bath in Reedy Creek, Victoria during recent fieldwork prospecting for gold.
Great effort by an Australo-North American research team
Great effort by an Australo-North American research team just published in Minerals: Cupriavidus metallidurans produces platinum nanoparticles. This study provides insights into mechanisms of platinum biomineralisation responsible for the formation of secondary platinum nuggets

Good to see our work as an impact!
Found this add by CAMECA for their NanoSIMS 50L in a recent edition of elements and thought, ‘wow they are the NanoSIMS data from our recent paper in Nature Geoscience’:

Congratulations Sahar Saad Shar!
Congratulations to Sahar Saad Shar for being admitted to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy after her thesis titled ‘Mobility of platinum and gold in the environment and the roles of microbes’, was accepted. This is a great milestone and excellent achievement and the group congratulates Sahar and wishes here all the best for the future.
Congratulations Jared Castle!
Congratulations to PhD student Jared Castle: Winning NIFS Best Chapter in a book award for 2017 and a presentation award at the FACTA conference. A great achievement and well deserved!
