Abstract:<br />
Many biotechnological applications such as remediation of toxic metals employ<br />
micro-organisms such as bacteria and the detoxification often occurring via reduction<br />
of the metal ions.<br />
The main objectives of the present study were to investigate the biosynthesis of zerovalent<br />
metal nanoparticles in the supernatant of the Entrobacteriaceae medium of<br />
cultures.<br />
Ten different pure colonies of Entrobacteriaceae isolated from waste water, were<br />
cultured in Luria Bertani broth medium .After reaching to the exponential growth, the<br />
supernatant were examined for the ability to produce metal nanoparticles. For that, 1<br />
Molar solution of CuSo4, AgNo3 and FeSo4 added to the reaction matrix. The<br />
reaction was done in a dark and anaerobic environment at 37 ° C. After 2 days, it was<br />
observed that the color of the solutions in flasks turned. The nanoparticles were<br />
examined using UV-Visible Spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)<br />
analyses and Zeta potentials.<br />
It was found that exposure of culture supernatanant of some Entrobacteriaceae<br />
mainly E.coli, to these metal ions lead to the formation of metal nanoparticles. The<br />
silver, copper and iron nanoparticles were in the range of 20-80, 90-110 and 5-60 nm<br />
in dimension respectively.<br />
The main conclusion is that the bio-reduction method is a good alternative to the<br />
electrochemical methods for producing nanoparticles.<br />
Keywords: bio-reduction, E coli. Entrobacteriaceae, metal nanoparticles<br />
