Implication of eukaryotic DNA repair machinery in viral replication
Hron, Tomáš ; Španielová, Hana (advisor) ; Harant, Karel (referee)
Eukaryotic DNA damage response is an important mechanism which ensures genome stability. Its components are also mobilized during viral infection as a reaction against extraneous nucleic acid. Additionally, DNA repair machinery seems to be activated by some viruses purposely to provide their replication. This activation is mediated mainly by viral proteins which are able to interact with cellular factors. In many cases, key components of DNA damage mechanisms are associated with viral replication centre and likely participate in this process. Furthermore, cellular DNA damage signaling is exploited to provide competent environment for viral reproduction. However, particular mechanisms how these cellular factors participate in viral infection are still largely unclear. In this thesis, the principles of relationship between viral infection and eukaryotic DNA damage response are summarized and main viral families which are known to activate and utilize these mechanisms for its genom replication are described.

Microcalorimetric study of bacterial degradation of oil and its products
Bola, Tomáš ; Benešová, Pavla (referee) ; Krouská, Jitka (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with a study of the oil degradation as one of the possible products of petroleum using bacterial stems Pseudomonas Putida a Pseudomonas Chlororaphis. The work is motivated by the research of usability of a method which has not been used for those purposes so far – calorimetric analysis. Using IČ spektrometry (ATR), calorimetry and UV-VIS spectrometry was studied a degree and a character of interactions. Calorimetric analysis showed that the Pseudomonas Putida has bigger abbility of the degradability than Pseudomonas Chlororaphis. There was also detected that the optimal concentration for more effective degradation of oil fuel is 5 g/l and 20 g/l. By measurement of the absorbance deppending on time was verified that the bigger is the concentration of the sample, the higher is the resulted absorbance. Using UV-VIS analysis was determined a quantity of biomass. Using IČ spectometry in the ATR mode (reduced reflectance) was detected structure of the sample and also verified that the bacterial cultures Pseudomonas Putida and Chlororaphis degradated entire amount of petroleum.

Plasma modification of materials for medical purposes
MATĚJÍČEK, Jan
This diploma thesis deals with the ongoing research under the auspices of the Department of Applied Physics and Technics Faculty of Education, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, in which the author of the work was actively participated. The thesis is divided into theoretical and experimental part. The theoretical part contains information from natural polymers, especially cellulose, plasma technology and infrared spectrometry. The subject of the experimental part of the thesis is research that deals with the functionalization of cellulose using a microwave plasma discharge on the apparatus CX-22. In the present research was also conducted to process optimization of functionalization with the liquid precursor hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO).
