Ultra low frequency yeast cells electric activity
Cifra, Michal ; Pokorný, Jiří ; Jelínek, František ; Hašek, Jiří ; Šimša, Jan
This paper presents results from the measurement of the electrical activity cold sensitive beta-tubulin mutant tub2-401 of yeast cells in frequency region 0.4 - 1.6 kHz. 25 measurements of both synchronized and nonsynchronized cells show that the synchronized cells have higher electrical activity what corresponds to the findings of Pohl et al. Mechanical oscillations of electrically polar structures in cell may give rise to electric oscillations we measured.

Biodegradation of PCBs by a ligninolytic fungus
Cajthaml, Tomáš ; Kožená, Lenka ; Filipová, Alena ; Svobodová, Kateřina
Although production and use of polychlorinated biphenyls has been prohibited for many years, the compounds still represent a serious problem for the environment. The objective of this work was to test abilities of PCB degradation of several representatives of ligninolytic fungi: Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Pleurotus ostreatus, Trametes versicolor, Irpex lacteus, Bjerkandera adusta, Picnoporus cinnabarinus, Dichomitus squalens, Phanerochaete magnolia, Panus tigrinus in two types of nutrient media i.e. low nitrogen mineral and complex.

Microbial degradation of 17alfa-ethinylestradiol and bisphenol A
Křesinová, Zdena ; Svobodová, Kateřina ; Moeder, M. ; Cajthaml, Tomáš
17ethinylestradiol (EE2) and bisphenol A (BA) are endocrine disrupting compounds (ED). ED have a negative influence on animals and human hormonal systems animals, and thus they are serious envronmental contaminants. This work was focused on biodegradtion of EE2 and BA using 8 white rot fungi strains in liquid media. Pleurotus ostreatus, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus and Irpex lacteus were able to remove both ED under detection limit (initial concetration was 10 ppm) during the first three days of cultivation. In contrary, Phanerochaete chrysosporium was not able to degrade both ED durin 2 weaks long cultivation

Screening of fungi are able to degradation of chlorobenzoates
Muzikář, Milan ; Křesinová, Zdena ; Svobodová, Kateřina ; Cajthaml, Tomáš
Degradation of chlorobenzoates (CBA), which are the intermediates by degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls, with fungi capable degrade lignin. These fungi are called ligninolytic or white-rot fungi. Biodegradation was tested in rich medium. The cultures were Bjerkandera adusta, Dichomitus squalens, Irpex lacteus, Phanerochaete chysosporium, Pleurotus ostreatus, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, Pycnoporus magnoliae a Trametes versicolor. The harvesting was performance 1., 2. and 3. week. Via ethylacetate we obtained the organic extract which was analyzed on HPLC. The start concentration was 10 ppm (10 μg/ml). We tested 12 substances of CBA
