This presentation walks through our full project: engineering Vibrio natriegens with genetic modules to leach, sense, capture and reduce gold; a model predicting 188 grams of gold per tonne of circuit boards; the hardware and software that run the process; and the business model and community work that shaped it. Ghana’s gold story doesn’t have to be defined only by what we extract from the earth, but also by what we can recover from what we discard.
