Cold adaptation in stationary phase in Bacillus subtilis
Beranová, Anna ; Konopásek, Ivo (advisor) ; Svobodová, Jaroslava (referee)
Cold adaptation in stationary phase in Bacillus subtilis One of the most important abiotic factor which influences life of bacterial cells is the ambient temperature. A decrease of this temperature is usually accompanied usually with the loss of the fluidity of bacterial cytoplasmatic membrane. While the mechanisms of the responses to the cold shock during the exponential phase of growth are well known for Bacillus subtilis, the responses of stationary phase cells had not been studied yet (despite the stationary phase is the most common state of microorganism in the nature). There are two independent mechanisms which restores much needed fluidity in Bacillus subtilis - short-term adaptation and long-term adaptation. Short-term adaptation is based on the function of fatty acid desaturase coded by des gene. Long-term adaptation relies on the change in ratio of iso- and anteiso- branched fatty acids. In this work we examinated membrane adaptation during stationary phase under two different conditions, namely under cultivation at stable low temperature and after cold shock. The highest activity of Pdes was observed for cultivation at 25 řC and for the cold shock applied from cultivation in 37 řC to 25 řC. Anisotropy measurements and fatty acids analysis were also performed. Results indicated, that the...

Vytipování souboru popisných znaků rodu Hosta pro potřeby evidence genových zdrojů
Beranová, Anna
The diploma project is focused on identifying the descriptive characters of the hosta genus. Its result is a descriptor that consists of thirty-two features divided into three sections based on morphological, biological and economic attributes. In view of the fact that hosta is valued principally for its decorative leaves, attention within searching for descriptive features was paid mainly to them and to a general description of the plant.
