Bioinspired Magneto-optical Bacteria Carmona Rodríguez-Acosta, Fernando Martín Marcos, Miguel Ángel Gálvez Rodríguez, Natividad Domínguez Vera, José Manuel Metal nanoparticles Magneto-optical Bacteria Bioinspired “Two-in-one” magneto-optical bacteria have been produced using the probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum for the first time. We took advantage of two features of bacteria to synthesize this novel and bifunctional nanostructure: their metal-reducing properties, to produce gold nanoparticles, and their capacity to incorporate iron oxide nanoparticles at their external surface. The magneto-optical bacteria survive the process and behave as a magnet at room temperature. 2017-07-24T11:42:09Z 2017-07-24T11:42:09Z 2014 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Carmona Rodríguez-Acosta, F.; et al.
