Enhanced Extracellular Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles by Soluble Extracts from <i>Escherichia coli</i> Transformed with <i>Rhizobium tropici</i> Phytochelatin Synthase Gene

Phytochelatins, the enzymatic products of phytochelatin synthase, play a principal role in protecting the plants from heavy metal and metalloid toxicity due to their ability to scavenge metal ions. In the present study, we investigated the capacity of soluble intracellular extracts from <i>E....
