Signalization in the ontogeny of bacterial colonies
Čepl, Jaroslav ; Markoš, Anton (advisor) ; Kuthan, Martin (referee)
Bacterial bodies (colonies) can develop complex patterns of color and structure. These patterns may arise as a result of both colony-autonomous processes (self-patterning) and environmental influences, including those generated by neighbor bodies. We have studied the interplay of intra-colony signaling (self-patterning) and inter-colony influences in related clones of Serratia rubidaea on rich media. We show that the mutual influencing of colonies, present in a common morphospace, is communicated by at least two putative signals. A model accounting for some aspects of colony morphogenesis and inter-colony interactions is proposed. Key words bacteria; Serratia sp.; airborne signals; colony morphogenesis

Ammonia production by colonies of mutants and aging of wrinkled colonies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Nedbálková, Jana ; Janderová, Blanka (advisor) ; Heidingsfeld, Olga (referee)
Production of ammonia by the colonies of mutants and aging of wrinkled colonies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae The aim of this diploma thesis is to observe the development, respectively the aging of cells in yeast colonies Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yeast cells S. cerevisiea form multicellular organized structures on a solid substrate, i.e. colonies, which the intercellular interactions occur in. These interactions influence forming, morphology and aging of yeast colonies. This diploma thesis is focused partly on the changes in ammonia production by giant colonies of deletion mutants and partly on the aging of colonies with the wrinkled morphology. I characterized mutant strains of S. cerevisiae with the deletion in RTG1, RTG2, RTG3, FIS1, CIT2 genes. Their products play an important role in the colony development. The transcription of these genes changes during the transition from the acidic to alkali phase during developmental process of the colonies. I have found out that the ammonium production rate was in accordance with the results of the alkalization in giant colonies surroundings and mentioned mutants derived from the BY strain has been producing ammonia since the 15th day. The rate of the ammonia production by rtg3∆ strain was comparable to the parental strain. Compared to parental strain, lower...
