Screening of extremozyme production of selected extremophilic PHA producers
Dyagilev, Dmitry ; Obruča, Stanislav (referee) ; Pernicová, Iva (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the screening of the production of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes in thermophilic microorganisms of the genera Aneurinibacillus, Brevibacillus, Chelatococcus, Pseudomonas, Schlegelella, Tepidimonas and Caldimonas. The ability of selected enzymes, namely proteases, lipases, amylases, xylanases, cellulases and pectinases, was tested in the investigated microorganisms. Such testing made it possible to assess in which microorganisms the production of specific enzymes can be observed. Based on the results of the screening, it was found that Schlegelella aquatica LMG 23380, Tepidimonas fonticaldi LMG 26746 and the investigated microorganisms of the genus Chelatococcus did not show the ability to produce any of the tested enzymes extracellularly. In natural isolates of Brevibacillus borstelensis LK 99 and Aneurinibacillus thermoaerophilus LK 102, only the ability to produce lipolytic enzymes was detected. The isolate Brevibacillus borstelensis Bz acts as a universal producer of all selected extremozymes. Enzyme activity was determined for selected producers. The bacterium Brevibacillus borstelensis Bz proved the ability to produce all six selected hydrolytic enzymes and has the highest activity of lipases, xylanases, cellulases and pectinases from the tested microorganisms. The highest proteolytic activity was measured in Thermomonas hydrothermalis DSM 14834 when cultured on skimmed milk powder.

Study of culturable anaerobic bacterial communities living in symbiosis with bark beetles; its isolation, taxonomy and biotechnical potential.
Fabryová, Anna ; Garcia-Fraile, Paula (advisor) ; Mrázek, Jakub (referee)
Microbial enzymes implicated in plant cell hydrolysis may have several potential aplications such as biomass degradation biocatalysts or with biofuel production. Bark beetles establish symbiosis with several microbial strains which play different roles benifitting the beetle, as the production of hydrolytic enzymes to degrade the ingested wood, the protection against mirobial antagonist or the detoxification of the environment. Fungal symbionts have been traditionally the best studied, but several recent research with bacterial symbionts of several bark beetle species show that bacterial also display important functions for the host. In this study, the bacterial communities of the bark beetle species Cryphalus piceae and Pithophtorus pithophtorus, collected in the Czech Republic from pine and fir trees, respectively, were isolated and 55 out of 89 samples were identified by 16S rRNA gene amplification and sequencing. Members of the genera Erwinia, Pantoea, Curtobacterium, Yersinia, Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus were detected. The isolates were object of study for their possible biotechnological potential in (ligno)cellulose materials degradation by screening several enzymes implicated in plant cell hydrolysis, as cellulases, xylanases, amylases, laccases, as well as their capability for colorant...
