Abstract
Today, rocky monuments are being exposed to different physical, chemical and biological factors and thereforegoing to be ruined. One of physical destructive factors is growing of fungus and lichens on the rocks. Thisresearch aims to make use of silver nano-particles produced through microbial method in order to preventgrowth and progression of fungus detached from rocky surfaces in Meymand historic village. In the first step,some parts of destructed rocky surfaces and grown lichens on rocky monuments in the village were taken assamples and transferred to lab. After isolation of the fungus from the samples, Identification of all sampleswere done to the genus level by means of conventional mycological methods, morphology on YGC mediumand study of microscopic by means of slide culture. Then the effect of silver nano-particles produced byPseudomonas sp1 on the fungal isolations was studied. Based on what observed, it was proved that nanoparticlesproduced by Pseudomonas sp1 affected about 68.42% on fungal isolations screened from Meymandrocky and historic village and hindered their growth; therefore growth of fungus on historic rocky surfaces canbe prevented by means of such particles in order to protect cultural heritages of the society.
