The accumulation of nanoparticles of colloidal silver with spherical shape in culture liquid of Azospirillum brasilense has been shown by transmission electron microscopy. Bacterial extracellular Mn-peroxidases were found to participate in silver reduction from silver nitrate with the formation of nanoparticles. A mechanism of extracellular biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles by A. brasilense bacteria was proposed
