Identification and characterisation of selected properties of some strains of lactic acid bacteria
Sásková, Denisa ; Horák, Daniel (referee) ; Rittich, Bohuslav (advisor)
Nanotechnology is currently one of the fastest growing scientific disciplines. An interesting area of research is the biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles using microorganisms including lactic acid bacteria. In the first part this diploma thesis focuses on verification of identity of bacterial species Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus paracasei by genus- and species-specific PCR. In the next part of experimental work the capability of six Lactobacillus strains to produce silver nanoparticles is tested. Synthesis of nanoparticles was confirmed for all the strains depending on the amount of added AgNO3 and on time of cultivation. Differences between the strains were detected.

Probiotic lactic acid bacteria in food products
Sásková, Denisa ; Rittich, Bohuslav (referee) ; Španová, Alena (advisor)
In food industry molecular genetic methods based on DNA analysis are used for identification of probiotic microorganisms. An example of these methods is the polymerase chain reaction, in which specific fragments of DNA are amplified using short oligonucleotide primers. The teoretical part of this bachelor thesis follows probiotic bacteria, their features, beneficial health effects and use in food and clinical applications. The experimental part of the thesis focuses on an analysis of two probiotic dietary supplements. DNA was isolated from these products by method of phenol extraction. The use of PCR confirmed the presence of DNA of probiotic bacteria of genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.
