Abstract
⺠Recovery of precious metals from scrap leachates by bacteria results in nanoparticle formation. ⺠Bio-nanoparticles are active in dehalogenation, reduction and CC coupling reactions. ⺠Niche markets should be explored in which both the Pd and the bacteria are advantageous. ⺠Biogenic bimetallic catalysts can be produced and have shown to be more active relative to bio-Pd.
