Bacterial metal reducers were isolated from water samples collected from harsh condition locations in Egypt. Four selected isolates were identified as  Enterococcus thailandicus, Pseudomonas putida, Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus , and  P. geniculata  for Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe) ,  Cobalt (Co) and Zinc (Zn) Nanoparticles (NPs) production sequentially. Nitrate reductase enzyme was assayed for bacterial isolates which demonstrated that  P. putida , and  M. hydrocarbonoclasticus  have the maximum enzyme production .  The produced NPs were characterized by using XRD, TEM, UV–VIS spectroscopy. Magnetic properties for all selected metals NPs were measured using Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) and demonstrated that FeNPs recorded the highest magnetization value. The antibacterial activity of selected metals NPs was tested against some phytopathogenic bacteria causing the following diseases: soft rot ( Pectobacterium carotovorum, Enterobacter cloacae ) ,  blackleg ( Pectobacterium atrosepticum  and  Dickeya solani ), brown rot ( Ralstonia solanacearum ), fire blight ( Erwinia amylovora ) and crown gall ( Agrobacterium tumefaciens ). All metals NPs showed an antagonistic effect against the tested isolates, particularly, FeNPs showed the highest antibacterial activity followed by CuNPs, and ZnNPs. Due to the small size, high reactivity, and large surface area of biologically synthesized NPs, they are used as a good disinfector, and can be considered as a new and alternative approach to traditional disease management methods.
