Abstract: [eng] [cze]
Predložená diplomová práca sa zaoberá štúdiom biotechnologickej produkcie extracelulárnych polysacharidov (EPS) vybraných termofilných a halofilných mikroorganizmov. Po primárnom screeningu vybraných kultúr bola experimentálna časť tejto práce ďalej venovaná halofilnému archea Haloferax mediterranei. Cieľom tejto práce bola produkcia a charakterizácia polymérov a posúdenie biotechnologického potenciálu použitých extremofilných kultúr ako producentov EPS. Počas kultivácie H. mediterranei boli použité 3 základné média, ktoré boli následne optimalizované v prospech produkcie EPS. Získané precipitáty boli podrobené analýze pomocou GPC, FTIR a UHPLC-UV-ESI-MS/MS, na základe čoho bolo možné bližšie charakterizovať získaný produkt. Tieto experimenty dokázali, že so stúpajúcou koncentráciou NaCl v médiu, klesá výťažok polysacharidov a ich produkciu nepodporujú ani vysoké koncentrácie MgSO4 a KCl v médiu. Hlavnou komponentou polysacharidov vyprodukovaných H. mediterranei, je manóza, no v závislosti od použitého média môže obsahovať aj glukózu, galaktózu, ribózu alebo N-acetylglukosamin. The presented master's thesis focuses on studying the biotechnological production of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) by selected thermophilic and halophilic microorganisms. Following the primary screening of selected cultures, the experimental part of this work further investigated the halophilic archaeon Haloferax mediterranei. The aim of this study was to produce and characterize polymers and assess the biotechnological potential of the extremophilic cultures used as EPS producers. During the cultivation of H. mediterranei, three fundamental media were employed, which were subsequently optimized for EPS production. The obtained precipitates underwent analysis using GPC, FTIR, and UHPLC-UV-ESI-MS/MS, allowing for a closer characterization of the acquired product. These experiments demonstrated that with increasing NaCl concentration in the medium, the yield of polysaccharides decreases, and high concentrations of MgSO4 and KCl in the medium did not promote their production as well. The predominant component of the polysaccharide produced by H. mediterranei is mannose, although depending on the medium, it may also contain glucose, galactose, ribose, or N-acetylglucosamine.
