Abstract:
The present application discloses metallophores that complex soluble gold and generate solid gold forms, including gold nanoparticles. In an embodiment, the metallophores are microbial metabolites isolated from organisms that are resistant to gold, or are analogs thereof. Methods of using the metallophores to extract and detect gold, along with detectors comprising the metallophores are disclosed.
