gold is a phenomenon that integerizes 7.22 times the mass of electricity, the irony being that this is the grav. constant + 1. that extra 1 is symbolic of an inverse nature to the circuitry of what goes on inside a primitive lifeform that relies on osmosis to move around, and really weak cilia to propel itself. you could say that these bacteria just cant help but do what a cat does to catnip, which the process itself is nothing dissimilar from a cat liking mint a little too much

Gold is an inorganic metal which is very resistant to degradation.
Bacteria are living organisms. Their protoplasm is princiaplly carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus.
They have no relation except that gold is very resistant to bacterial degradation.
