| Abstract: | In this study, the extract of two strains of cyanobacteria was used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (NPs). UV–vis spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analyses were carried out to characterise the NPs. The antioxidant activity and heavy metal detection properties were investigated; moreover, their minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration against the multi‐drug resistant bacteria were determined. The most abundant materials in these extracts were carbohydrates, so the biosynthesis of NPs using exopolysaccharide (EPS) was also investigated. The surface plasmon resonance of NPs had a peak at 435 nm and EPS NPs at 350–450 nm. The NPs produced by Nostoc sp. IBRC‐M5064 extract revealed the face‐centred cubic (fcc) structure of AgCl, while NPs of N. pruniforme showed the fcc crystalline structure of Ag3 PO4 and AgCl. The FESEM showed the spherical shape of these NPs. The AgCl/Ag3 PO4 colloid, in comparison with AgCl, showed better antioxidant activity and antibacterial effect. The heavy metal detection analysis of NPs revealed that the NPs of both stains involved in Hg (NO3)2 detection.Inspec keywords: drugs, light scattering, silver, biochemistry, surface plasmon resonance, X‐ray diffraction, silver compounds, antibacterial activity, ultraviolet spectra, nanoparticles, visible spectra, colloids, microorganisms, nanofabrication, field emission scanning electron microscopy, chemical sensors, nanosensorsOther keywords: cyanobacteria, antibacterial detection, colorimetric detection, dynamic light scattering, antioxidant activity, heavy metal detection analysis, silver nanoparticle synthesis, field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis, UV‐visible spectroscopy analysis, X‐ray diffraction analysis, inhibitory concentration, exopolysaccharide, surface plasmon resonance, Nostoc sp.
