Detoxification of lignocellulose hydrolyzates
Vašíčková, Monika ; Pořízka, Jaromír (referee) ; Obruča, Stanislav (advisor)
The aim of this work was study of the detoxification of lignocellulose material hydrolysates and to investigate sawdust suitability as a substrate for microbial production of PHA by bacteria Burkholderia cepacia and Burkholderia sacchari. In the experimental part of the work the most suitable way of detoxification of model and real hydrolysate was studied. After that, detoxification methods used were evaluated. Criteria for evaluation were concentration of polyphenols as the most important microbial inhibitors and reduction saccharides as the main carbon substrate. Furthermore, fermentability of the hydrolysates was also tested by cultivation of two bacteria capable of PHA accumulation. Burkholderia sacchari demonstrated higher ability to accumulate PHA then Burkholderia cepacia. Then in the summary – most effective way for detoxification was ‚overliming‘. Major increase of PHB in biomass was obtained when Burkholderia sacchari was cultivated on media gained by application of overliming of real lignocellulose hydrolysate. However, total gains of PHB were more likely low and then sawdust can not be considered as a substrate for PHB production at industrial scale.

Biotechnological production of polyhydroxyalkanoates using wastes of coffee production
Vašíčková, Monika ; Benešová, Pavla (referee) ; Obruča, Stanislav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on study of production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) by bacteria Burkholderia cepacia and Burkholderia sacchari. Production of PHA has been studied using spent coffee grounds hydrolysates which have been prepared by different aproaches. In the thesis is compared standard method of coffee ground hydrolysis by mineral acid followed by enzymatic hydrolysis. Hydrolysates which have been produced were analyzed in terms of concentration of saccharides and efficiency of hydrolysis. The best producer of PHA (based on results) was bacterium Burkholderia cepacia, in the medium which has been prepared by hydrolysis of spent coffee grounds extracted by 60% solution of ethanol. Biomass yield of this cultivation was 3,553 g/l with 32,472% PHA content. This PHA contained 6,09% 3-hydroxyvalerate. In the other experiment, we verified alternative hydrolysis of spent coffee grounds – by commercially available enzymes. We used cellulase, hemicellulase and the enzymatic cocktail which has been produced by mould. Hemicellulase was the most effective hydrolytic enzyme and its application resulted in production of the highest amount of biomass – 5,708 g/l. In this cultivation, only homopolymer PHB has been which is probably caused by the fact, that during the enzymatic hydrolysis levulinic acid or any other potential precursor of 3HV is formed.
