Bioproduction, Characterization and Application of Selected Biopolymers
Benešová, Pavla ; Pekař, Miloslav (referee) ; Čertík, Milan (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
Proposed doctoral thesis deals with microbial production of biopolymers (polysaccharides and polyesters) using renewableble inexpensive resources as carbon and nitrogen source. At first, production of extracellular metabolites, mainly pullulan and poly-L-malic acid, by polymorphic microorganism Aureobasisium pullulans was studied. Further part of thesis was focused on production of bacterial biopolyesters polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). PHA are produced in the form of intracellular granules by various bacteria species. During the study of PHA production, sythesis of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and technologically significant copolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) was investigated as well with regard to waste substrate utilization in biorafinery concept. Spent coffee ground seemed to be applicable waste in biorefinery proces. One of the coffee wastes used for PHA production was spent coffee ground hydrolysate which was converted to PHA by Burkholderia cepacia. Moreover, copolymer of 3HB and 3HV was accumulated when SCGH was used as a sole carbon source, no precursor had to be added. Another coffee waste, which was utillized by Cupriavidus necator H16, is represented by oil extracted from spent coffee grounds. Hydrolysis proces of waste substrates had to be optimized, to reach the highest possible saccharide concentration. Due to the hydrolysis process several toxic compounds can be formed, hence, influence of hydrolysis procesings on polyphenols content in hydrolysates was monitored. Waste substrates were also tested as potentional complex nitrogen source for PHA production. Hydrolysates of cheese whey and chicken feather were used as inexpensive complex nitrogen source for PHA production by C. necator, when waste frying oil was used as a carbon substrate. The finnal part of the thesis is dealing with possibilities how the PHA can be processed into atractive aplication forms. Liposomes with partial content of PHB had been prepared, moreover, for improving of antioxidant activity and antimicrobial effect the waste coffee oil was added. Micro-fibrous PHB materials were prepared for the purposes of water filtration. Higher filtration effectivity was observed when composite PHB fibrous material containing active charcoal or metal oxides was used. Important part of thesis is represented by study of degradation processes of prepared PHA-based aplication forms. Various microorganisms were tested on PHA depolymerases production. Biodegradability of PHA materials was tested in of composting conditions by standard composting test IS/ISO 20200. Changes in mechanical properties of polyurethan, where polyol was partialy replaced by PHB, were tested depending on the exposure of composting condition.

Microcalorimetric study of bacterial degradation of oil and its products
Bola, Tomáš ; Benešová, Pavla (referee) ; Krouská, Jitka (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with a study of the oil degradation as one of the possible products of petroleum using bacterial stems Pseudomonas Putida a Pseudomonas Chlororaphis. The work is motivated by the research of usability of a method which has not been used for those purposes so far – calorimetric analysis. Using IČ spektrometry (ATR), calorimetry and UV-VIS spectrometry was studied a degree and a character of interactions. Calorimetric analysis showed that the Pseudomonas Putida has bigger abbility of the degradability than Pseudomonas Chlororaphis. There was also detected that the optimal concentration for more effective degradation of oil fuel is 5 g/l and 20 g/l. By measurement of the absorbance deppending on time was verified that the bigger is the concentration of the sample, the higher is the resulted absorbance. Using UV-VIS analysis was determined a quantity of biomass. Using IČ spectometry in the ATR mode (reduced reflectance) was detected structure of the sample and also verified that the bacterial cultures Pseudomonas Putida and Chlororaphis degradated entire amount of petroleum.

Connection between stress resistance of bacteria to temperature-mediated stress and PHA accumulating ability
Nováčková, Ivana ; Benešová, Pavla (referee) ; Obruča, Stanislav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the involvement of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) into the stress response of bacteria, specifically when they are exposed to temperature-mediated stress. The theoretical part focuses on the stress response of bacteria in general, the mechanism of response to temperature-mediated stress and PHA involvement into the stress response. The aim of experimental work was to study the correlation between the amount of PHA in the biomass of the bacteria and their viability after exposure to temperature-mediated stress. PHA producing bacterial strains Cupriavidus necator H16, Burkholderia cepacia and Burkholderia sacchari and non-producing mutant strain Cupriavidus necator PHB4 were used for experimental work. Bacteria accumulated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), the amount of PHB in the biomass was determined by gas chromatography with FID. Viability of live bacterial cells and cells after exposure to temperature-mediated stress was determined by using flow cytometry. It turned out that the content of PHB in biomass assists bacteria to resist the freezing shock. By comparing the viability of bacteria C. necator H16 and C. necator PHB4 after exposure to multiple stresses it also has been observed that PHB increased the resistance of cells against temperature-mediated stress and stress caused by low pH.

Benešová, Pavla ; Vávrová, Milada (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with preparation and characterization of alcohol-free beers with different flavours. Five flavoured and four pure, commercially available beers were tested. Three alcohol-free beers were then selected and used for preparation of flavoured beers. Ingredients used for production of flavour were honey, raspberry, ginger and cranberry. Analysis was focused mainly on substances of phenolic nature. Flavoured beers were also tested in sensory analysis. Ingredients used for flavouring of beers and production of both alcoholic and alcohol-free beers are described in theoretical part of the thesis. Analysis of polyphenols, flavonoids, technological characteristics and anthocyanins was performed using spectrophotometric method. Phenolic substances were identified and quantified by HPLC/PDA. Ascorbic acid was analysed by HPLC-NH2/UV. Results proved an increase of polyphenols, ascorbic acid and anthocyanins during flavouring of alcohol-free beers in dependence of used ingredients. Sensory analysis showed that as the best rated was the Staropramen beer with raspberry flavour. On the contrary, flavoured Bernard beers were poorly rated.

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.

Benešová, Pavla ; Obruča, Stanislav (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyse biologically active compounds, especially of phenolic character, in 10 kinds of alcohol-free beer in comparison with alcoholic beer. In theoretical part basic steps of brewery technology are described including alcohol-free beer production. Characteristic compounds occurring especially in Czech beer e.g. proteins, phenolics, bitter substances and also methods for their analysis are discussed as well. Microfluidic electrophoresis (Experion, BioRad) was used to beer protein analysis. Phenolic compounds, flavonoids, technological characteristics and antioxidative activity were measured by spectophotometry. Individual phenolics of selected beers were identified and quantified by LC/ESI-MS analysis too. In alcohol-free beers similar concentrations of biologically active compounds were found in comparison with alcoholic beers, especially in the case of beer phenolics.
