Besides many possibilities of applications of nanoparticles in the field of medicine, diagnostics, molecular biology, bioorganic chemistry or remediation of environment, there is also a potential of employment of nanoparticles as a tool for elimination and control of bacteria invading plant tissue. In this experiment an antibacterial activity of selected nanoparticles based on silver, gold and bimetallic silver/copper was tested on bacteria Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) (strain 1279a). The strongest inhibitory effect represented by doubling time of treated cultures was measured in the presence of the smallest silver nanoparticles (9 nm) at the highest concentration (5 ppm).
