Regulation of production of lipids and lipid compounds in yeasts
 Rapta, Marek ; Breierová, Emília (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
Oleogenic yeasts under appropriate conditions produce and accumulate lipids and lipid-soluble metabolites in high amounts. This attribute is characteristic also for red yeasts that except lipids accumulate also carotenoids – natural pigments used in food industry and dietary supplements. The aim of this diploma thesis was designed as a comparative screening study of production properties of strains Cystofilobasidium capitatum, Rhodotorula glutinis, Sporobolomyces roseus and Sporobolomyces shibatanus. Choosen carbon sources were glucose and glycerol as waste by-product in biofuel industry. The best production properties were found in Cystofilobasidium capitatum and Rhodotorula glutinis. These two strains produced increased amounts of lipids as well as higher amounts of carotenoids. Strains were tested by FTIR spectroscopy that enables high-throughput, uncomplicated and accurate analysis.

Cultivation of carotenogenic yeasts on waste substrates usinf solid state fermentation
 Rapta, Marek ; Petrik, Siniša (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
Semi-solid fermentation is an eco - friendly technique more and more used for production of significant metabolites or enriched biomass at low entrance cost and low comsumption of water. The problem of this technique might be the right choice of microorganism able to grow and produce at low water activity. This work is a pilot study of three red yeast strains – Rhodotorula glutinis, Cystofilobasidium capitatum and Sporobomomyces roseus cultivated by semi-solid state fermentation (semi-SSF). Yeasts were cultivated in series of production media with gradual reduction of cultivation water content. Pasta and hydrolyzed pasta were used as source of sacharides, glucose served as the carbon source in control media. All studied strains we able to grow and produce observed lipidic metabolites also at low water contents. Production of carotenoids and sterols was higher in semi-solid media. Cystofilobasidium capitatum strain was identified as the best producer of carotenoids and biomass. This strain was cultivated on hydrolyzed pasta media with 40% water content. Semi-SSF seems to be an adequate technique for selection of strains having over-productive properties. Observed metabolites production in yeast cells can be optimized by choosing the appropriate production media and water activity.
