Use of selected fluorescence techniques to characterization of microbial cells
Vaněk, Martin ; Pekař, Miloslav (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
Carotenoids are one of the most abundant natural pigment. Furthermore, they have great potential for wide industrial utilization. Nowadays, prefered (and cheaper) synthetic method counters progressively improved biotechnological production. Far more cheaper production should be reached via implementing methods of on-line optimization, such as flow cytometry. In this thesis the dependence of yeasts autotofluorescence intensity on carotenoids concentration in dry mass was studied. The dependence was established by means of linear regression. Moreover, the dependence between light scatter and the amount of dry mass was established by means of model utilizing forward scatter, side scatter and number of cells in unit volume. Yeasts' cells was also studied under the lenses of laser scanning confocal microscope. The goal was to localize carotenoids inside cells. Experiments undertaken suggest that they are localized inside the lipidic granules, but more experiments are required for a proof.
Regulation of production of enriched biomass and lipidic substances in carotenogenic yeasts.

Carotenoids belong to the most abundant classes of natural pigments with important biological functions. In last years intensive studies focused on biotechnological production of carotenoids by suitable microorganisms were done. Presented work was realized as a comparative study of three yeast strains: Rhodotorula glutinis, Rhodotorula rubra a Sporobolomyces roseus. These strains were cultivated in different media with several waste substrates (potato extract, whey) as nutrition sources. Additionally, strains were exposed to some types of exogenous stress. All strains were able to use tested waste substrates as nutrition sources. Most of strains exhibited increased carotenoid production, in several conditions accompanied by high biomass formation. As the best producer of enriched biomass yeast strain Rhodotorula glutinis CCY 20-2-26 cultivated on medium with addition of lyophilized whey (9 g/l of biomass enriched by 2 mg/g of beta-carotene) and/or under mild salt stress.
