Detection of Microorganisms in Low-Temperature Water Environments by in situ Generation of Biogenic Nanoparticles

Detection of Microorganisms in Low-Temperature Water Environments by in situ Generation of Biogenic Nanoparticles

A new nanobiotechnological approach for the detection of extraterrestrial Earth-like biological forms is proposed. The approach is based on the ability of microbial cells to reduce artificially added cations with the generation of crystalline nanoparticles (NPs) from zero-valent atoms. The method is...
