Biotechnological potential of algae and cyanobacteria from low temperature environments
 Faško, Adam ; Nedbalová, Linda (advisor) ; Vítová, Milada (referee)
With the interest in biofuels rising, public awareness of the biotechnological potential of algae and cyanobacteria has grown and there is discussion about other possible uses of these microorganisms. Algae and cyanobacteria from low temperature environments possess exceptional properties as part of their adaptation strategies. The aim of this work is to evaluate whether these properties can be exploited in biotechnology. In my theses, I focus on the three most frequently discussed areas of application of algae and cyanobacteria from cold environments: production of polyunsaturated fatty acids, dyes and antioxidants, and wastewater treatment. Based on the available literature, I concluded that algae and cyanobacteria from low temperature environments can outperform mesophilic species in terms of production of desired substances or nutrient uptake from the medium under certain conditions. Selection of suitable strains, optimization of culture conditions and application of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology will have a major impact on the utilization rate of these microorganisms.
