In this paper, we have used a biological method of the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles,using supernatant (culture liquid)of bacterium Actinomyces spp.NSX-333,,isolated from Azerbaijani soil.The culture liquid has been obtained by culturing the bacterium at 28 ° C for 5-6 days. It was showed that during the incubation of the culture liquid with AgNO3 solution, a restoration of silver ions takes place and stable silver nanoparticlesare formed. Initially, the nanoparticle formation process was visually observed by a color change of the incubation solution.The nanoparticles have characterized using a UV spectrophotometer, anenergy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM).UV spectrophotometric analysis of nanoparticlesshowed the presence of absorption in the range of 410 nm, which is characteristic of silver nanoparticles. EDXS spectrum showed a peak corresponding to the silver nanoparticles. Obtained silver nanoparticles had a spherical shape and size in the range of 20 to 130 nm. Clusters of nanoparticles were also observed.
