Bioreduction of precious and heavy metals byCandidaspecies under oxidative stress conditions

Summary The aim of the present work was to evaluate whether Candida species can reduce both precious and toxic pure metals from the respective molecular ions. From these results, the nanoparticles formed were studied using scanning electron microscopy with energy‐dispersive spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy and synchrotron radiation. Our results showed that the metal ions were reduced to their corresponding...
