title: Biocatalytic synthesis of gold nanoparticles with cofactor regeneration in recombinant Escherichia coli cells.
abstract: Here we report the enzymatic synthesis of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) by an engineered Escherichia coli harboring an NADH cofactor regeneration system coupled with glycerol dehydrogenase, which can be triggered by the addition of exogenous glycerol.
