Abstract

Abstract Background Bio-nanotechnology is considered as one of the low-cost approaches that have been utilized in production of nanomaterials. The current research aimed at investigating the influence of different types of Actinomycete strains on the final properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) such as size, shape, polydispersity, and antibacterial properties. For this purpose, the following techniques were employed UV spectrophotometer, SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, TEM, FTIR, antibacterial agar diffusion test, and Zetasizer. Results It was found that among 34 Streptomyces isolates collected from the soil, Streptomyces spiralis and Streptomyces rochei were able to reduce silver nitrate into sliver nanoparticles. The diversity and molecular weights of extracellular proteins secreted by these stains were different as proved by SDS-PAGE technique. This consequently resulted in differences in polydispersity of AgNPs which indicate that the sizes of AgNPs were highly dependent on the amount, molecular sizes, and diversity of extracellular matrix proteins of the microorganism. Conclusion This article might give an insight about the importance of molecular sizes of biomacromolecules such as proteins on the physical properties of biogenic synthesized nanoparticles.
