Characterization of PHA producing microbial cells by advanced microscopic and cytometric techniques
Dlouhá, Karolína ; Nováčková, Ivana (referee) ; Obruča, Stanislav (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to document production of polyhydroxyalkanoates in selected bacterial strains, which were Pseudomonas thermotolerans, Chelatococcus daeguensis, Tepidiphilus thermophilus and Chelatococcus thermostellatus. In the case of the microorganisms Tepidiphilus thermophilus and Pseudomonas thermotolerans, the production of PHA´s has not yet been described, and in the Chelatococcus bacteria, which were analysed in this work, the production has not yet been documented by electron microscopy. In this work, the selected producers were analysed by flow cytometry first, using BODIPY and Nile Red as fluorescence probes. Selected producers, for which was production confirmed, were analysed by other methods, such as fluorescence microscopy, cryo scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. In the bacterial culture of Pseudomonas thermotolerans, PHA´s production wasn´t confirmed by the first analysis by flow cytometer. For other microorganisms was production confirmed. Chelatococcus bacteria clearly proved to be better producers. Bacterial cells of Tepidiphilus thermophilus produced smaller granules and in lower amount.
