Abstract: A novel method for preparation of gold_film composed of ultra_fine gold particles was reported in this paper. The gold_film was prepared by electrochemical method on the surface of the paste electrode modified with the strain Bacillus sp. D01 which has strong ability to absorb and reduce Au3+. In addition, this paper reported an experimental method of determining trace amount of Cu2+ in water solution using cathodic stripping analysis to estimate the performances of the obtained gold_film. The experimental results indicated that this new method for preparation of gold_film is simple. The obtained gold_film electrode is stable and sensitive to determining Cu2+.
