Well this did turn interesting, but not in the way I was hoping.
Organic harvesting of gold from bacteria seems like an interesting topic to discuss. I already know there are microbes that exist that digest metals, although there is no clear understanding how this is done, just yet, in regards to the microbes found at Iron Mountain Mine, but it's happening. It only makes sense to me if metals can be digested by microbes, that there also might be microbes that digest gold, and because the gold has to go somewhere, maybe deposits gold, or could be genetically engineered to do so. Similar to the way bacteria has been developed to consume plastics, metals, etc. It's that line of experimentation that I am curious about.
If Harold asked you not to talk about someone specific, I would take heed and not mention it again, or refer to it in any of your posts. There is far more dis-information out there than there is good solid information. This forum is one of the only places on the entire net that deals with truths and not fantasies. There are people all over the world that use this site as a reference so that they can safely recover and refine precious metals. This place is far more important than I think most people will ever realize. To dilute it's effectiveness and importance with dis-information would be a crime.
There is a wide range of expertise on t his site, if you read any of the other posts you will soon realize that you are among some of the brightest minds regardless of education, and probably more people who have learned on their own than any other professional field. Considering the extremely dangerous nature of what so many of us do, and the safety record, you might then understand why it's so very important to keep the topics legitimate, the posts truthful, the language professional. Etc.
So forget about "he who must not be named" and lets get on with talking about microbes, and bacteria, and what is actually happening with your own experiments. Lets do away with anything that has to do with "Alchemy" or transmutation of something, into gold.
And please, if you have any information about any bacteria that can consume gold or any other precious metals, is safe, and stable, let us know. I for one, would not mind growing gold digesting bacteria if it were safe, I wouldn't mind the expense either, just to see how far I can take it, and how I might recover the digested precious metals. I have a lot of biological lab glass, and access to all kinds of used biological equipment.
So can we agree to drop the subject of "he who must not be named" and from this point on move forward discussing what the original post was about?
