Summary. Intensively developing nanotechnologies associated with the discovery of unique properties of ultrafine particles have shown a high potential for their widespread use. However, the lack of a detailed assessment of biological safety in parallel with the proven possibility of their use leads to the need to solve these problems. In addition, the biological response of alloys of two particles will differ from that when testing individual particles. In this regard, the purpose was a comparative study of the toxicity of ultrafine particles of copper, zinc, as well as their alloy and mixture in the test of inhibition of bacterial luminescence using Echerichia coli recommended by the current national standard for medical and biological evaluation of nanomaterials (MR 1.2.2566-09, MU 1.2 .2634-10).

The luminescence intensity of the recombinant strain Echerichia coli of natural marine microorganism Photobacterium leiongnathi with cloned luxCDABE genes under the influence of concentrations (0.1-6×10-6 M) achieved by stepwise dilution of ultrafine particles of zinc, copper, their alloy and mixture was studied. It was established that the level of toxic activity characterized by EC50 values ​​progressively decreased in the series: Zn → CuZn (alloy) → CuZn (mixture) → Cu, with maximum toxicity effect in zinc. The alloy and CuZn mixture occupy a middle position in the toxicity series due to the leveling of toxic effect of zinc by copper.

Key words: ultrafine particles, bacterial cells, bioluminescence, zinc, copper, inhibition.
