Protective properties of gold in the composition of nanoparticles and Au—rutin complexes

Protective properties of gold nanoparticles and gold—rutin complexes were studied. Aurophilic bacteria Micrococcus luteus and methanotrophic bacteria Methylococcus capsulatus were studied. Gold—rutin nanoparticles and complexes protect the respiratory activity of the bacteria against toxins. Pretreatment of the cells with gold is more efficient than the treatment after the action of toxin.
