            <abstract>
                <p>The application of actinomycetes for bio-fabrication of silver nanoparticles as a
rapid, eco-friendly and promising approach is desired for its non-toxicity and simplicity
advantages. From sixteen actinomycetes were isolated and checked for their ability to produce
nano-Ag, Streptomyces rectiviolaceus strain SMWN3.2 showed more effective nano-Ag (surface
plasmon resonance peak at 420 nm and its size 10nm) as an antimicrobial agent. Comparing
with the biological process microbial nano –Ag synthesis have advantageous because of its
natural abundance, easy culture and its potential to scale up for large scale synthesis, By using
Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken experimental designs the optimized medium components
recorded the larger biomass production (16g/l) than the basal conditions (3.8 folds). Also, the
optimal nano-Ag bio-fabrication conditions were 0.5M silver nitrate and 5v/v cell filtrate at
45°C. Kinetic conversion rates in submerged batch cultivation in 7L stirred bioreactor was: YX
=30.5, Pmax =85.5g/l and YP = 42.6 at 30hr. The best nano-Ag concentrations that formed large
inhibition zones were 35- 60¼g/ml and the MIC/ MBC and MIC/MFC measured as 255Øßg/
ml/505Øßg/ml, 505Øßg/ml/605Øßg/ml which showed against Streptococcus pneumoniae and
Aspergillus fumigatus respectively. This work is focuses on large-scale production of nano-Ag
as an antimicrobial agent against hospital-acquired infectious pathogens.
