Retraction Note: A novel bacterial isolate Stenotrophomonas maltophilia as living factory for synthesis of gold nanoparticles

The Original Article was published on 20 July 2009

Retraction

This article [1] was submitted to Microbial Cell Factories at the same time as a very similar article [2] was submitted to Applied Physics Letters, s ubsequently published in June 2009. The two articles were produced from the same data and contained extensive overlap including duplication of figures. As such the authors would like to retract the Microbial Cell Factories article. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused to the editorial staff and readers.
