Thermophilic Enzymes
Kuchtová, Ludmila ; Obruča, Stanislav (referee) ; Babák, Libor (advisor)
Thermophilic enzymes are produced by organisms living at temperatures between 60 and 80°C, in some cases even higher, and are active and stabile at these temperatures. This work deals with thermophilic and hyperthermophilic organisms, their habitats, ways of adaptation to environment with considerably higher temperatures than optimal temperature for most organisms, and recent findings and opinions about possible factors enhancing protein thermostability. Properties and behaviour of thermophilic enzymes and their current applications (i.e. PCR, starch industry) are summarized. Advantages and disadvantages of using of these enzymes in comparison to currently used mesophilic enzymes are compared. Possible applications of thermozymes in various industrial branches, where they could replace some environment polluting procedures, simplify technology and be economically important, are introduced.

Kinetics and temperature dependance of cellulose degrading enzymes in the Arctic soils
VAZAČ, Jan
Kinetics and temperature dependance of ?-glucosidase and cellobiosidase was investigated in Arctic soil. These enzymes are key in cellulose degradation, while ?-glucosidase produces the final product of cellulose degradation, the glucose, which si readily available to soil microbes and can influence the CO2 production. The enzymes activities was measured using fluorogenic substrates.

Lipolýza v superkritických tekutinách katalyzovaná enzymy
Bernášek, Prokop ; Sovová, Helena
In this work we investigated influences of some conditions on the conversion degree of lipase-catalysed ethanolysis of blackcurrant oil in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2). A continuous-flow reactor containing an immobilized enzyme was applied. The examined conditions were flow of SC-CO2 flow of ethanol, water content and geometrical adjustment of the reactor.
