Behaviour of microorganisms using microcalorimetry
Piletskaya, Maryia ; Sedláček, Petr (referee) ; Krouská, Jitka (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the study of the behavior of a microorganism with the help of microcalorimetry. The theoretical part of the thesis deals mainly with the characterization of the microorganism Rhodospirillum rubrum selected for experimental work and the application of microcalorimetry in microbiology. The second goal was to screen the growth of the bacterial strain R. rubrum using different substrates, and subsequently, based on experimental results, to select the most suitable substrate, and optimize its concentration and aeration of the medium for the microorganism using microcalorimetry. Hexanoate, malate, acetate and fructose were used to examine the most suitable substrate by microcalorimetry. Another goal was data processing and discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of substrate selection and media aeration with respect to bacterial strain growth. Hexanoate was found to be the best substrate for growth, followed by optimization of the concentration and aeration of the medium. The results of the microcalorimetric measurement were confirmed by spectrophotometric study of the growth curve of the investigated bacteria. The effect of osmotic pressure on bacteria and the dependence of their survival on the amount of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) in the cell were also studied. The amount of PHA in the biomass was determined chromatographically.
