Original Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (colloidal silver) have a bacterial effect against a variety of bacteria, fungi and viruses. They are promising for biological applications due to the limited toxicity against eukaryotic cells. Important role in the silver nanoparticles production have various microorganisms including lactic acid bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus. The aim of work was to test the production of colloidal silver nanoparticles by probiotic species Lactobacillus casei. Nanoparticles production was tested using the reaction mixture (phosphate buffer, glucose, bacterial cells) and varying AgNO3 (1-4 nm) concentrations. Production of silver nanoparticles was proven by screening of reaction mixtures by transmission electron microscopy. Level of Ag+ ions utiliziog for the creation of nanoparticles was analysed by optical emission spectrometry.
