In the case of spherical symmetric accretion into a black hole, the matter may be heated up to the temperature KT = 0.1 mpc2 (Kolykhalov and Sunyaev, 1979). In such a hot plasma inelastic collisions of protons may produce Π° which is the gamma quantum source.

In this work we determined γ-rays production spectrum in the comoving plasma reference frame, expected γ-rays spectrum for the case of spherica symmetric accretion of matter into a black hole and the upper limit to the number of black holes in Galaxy is evaluated.
