Study of effect of Bacillus subtilis yxkO gene on motility during stress response to osmotic upshift.
Streitová, Eliška ; Lichá, Irena (advisor) ; Krásný, Libor (referee)
Bacillus subtilis is gram-positive soil bacteria. In its natural environment it is constantly exposed to changes of chemical and physical conditons, including changes of osmolality. It responds to high osmolality by transporting of potassium ions and afterthat transporting and/or synthetising of compatible solutes. In last years the mutant strain Bacillus subtilis L-42 was isolated with non-specific insertional mutagenesis (mini Tn10) in our laboratory. This strain displays limited growth and inability to cope with hyperosmotic shock in a defined medium with potassium concentration of < 1 mmol/l. Insertion of transposon was located in yxkO gene which encodes a protein of unknown biological function. Some other data also indicate a possible role of disruption of yxkO gene in regulation of expression of hag gene, which encodes flagelin - a pivotal protein of bacterial flagellum. The goal of this thesis was to clarify if the disruption of yxkO gene influences motility and whether is affected the transcription of hag gene. With integrative vector pMUTIN4 a mutant strain with specific mutation of yxkO gene was prepared. Vector was pasted into chromosome of Bacillus subtilis strain 1A839 - genotype of this strain allows to extrude the known transcriptional regulation of hag gene. Cell's motility was...

Vliv teploty při krátkodobém uchování jiker jesetera malého, Acipenser ruthenus, in vitro
LET, Marek
The effects of temperature (7°C, 11°C, 15°C, and 19°C) and egg storage time (Control = time 0 h, 2.5 h, 5.0 h, 7.5 h and 10.0 h) on the fertilization and hatching success of sterlet, Acipenser ruthenus, eggs were studied. Ovulation and spermiation were stimulated by using CPE in two dosages for females (first dose 0.5 mg.kg-1 b.w. and second dose 4.0 mg.kg-1 b.w.) and one dosage for males (4.0 mg.kg-1 b.w.), respectivelly. The ovulated eggs were collected from three females (age 68 years) through a small surgery, than mixed together. The good quality semen was selected from three males (age 68 years) and was stored in polystyrene ice box during the experiment. The eggs were placed separately into four incubators, where were stored in above-mentioned temperature conditions. Four grams of eggs from each temperature treatment groups were inseminated with 200 ?l of the semen in dechlorinated water at 15°C. Then, eggs were placed into experimental cage incubation system with separate chambers at 15°C and a small sample of fertilized eggs was allocated in triplicate to plastic petri dishes for evaluation of fertilization rate during neuralization phase. Approximately, 56 days post-fertilization, the total number of succesfully hatched larvae was acurately calculated for the final evaluation of storage success. All data were analyzed using STATISTICA v 12 software. Hatching success was analyzed using a factorial ANOVA model containing the egg storage time and storage temperatures. Eggs retained their hatchability when stored at 7°C and 11°C for up to 10 hours. Egg viability was noticeably reduced at 7.5-h storage at 19°C compared to cooler temperatures, moreover the viability decreased significantly after 10 hours at 19°C. In contrast with the one previous study about shor-term storage of sterlet eggs, this experiment probably dealt with better quality eggs which can be a reason why they retained their hatchability for significantly longer time period.
