Production of lipid substances by Metschnikowia yeasts grown on some waste substrates
Gonová, Dominika ; Márová, Ivana (referee) ; Němcová, Andrea (advisor)
Oleaginous yeasts posses the ability to accumulate increased amount of lipids under appropriate conditions. These microbial lipids vary in the composition of fatty acids which results in their wide application in the biotechnological industry. This master thesis focuses on the lipid production and fatty acids composition from waste substrates by the yeasts Metschnikowia depending on various cultivation conditions. The influence of temperature, the ratio of carbon and nitrogen in medium, and the concentration of different carbon sources was studied. The cheap and easy available waste substrates as glycerol and animal fat were used for the cultivation. The production characteristics of the yeasts were monitored by various technique including gas chromatography, Raman spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy FLIM. Moreover, the partial optimalization of the pulse field gel electrophoresis was applied in order to characterize the karyotype of the yeasts Metschnikowia. All the studied strains were able to use the waste substrates and at the same time to produce lipids. The amount of lipids and mainly their compositions vary depending on the yeast strain and on the culture conditions. Nevertheless, the ability of the yeasts to produce significant amount of unsaturated fatty acids by manipulation of culture conditions was proved. The maximum lipid yield was achieved by M. pulcherrima 149 on glycerol medium and by M. andauensis 129 on medium containing waste animal fat.

Szotkowski, Martin ; Kráčmar, Stanislav (referee) ; Huelva, Ines Garbayo Nores, University (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
Karotenoidy jsou přírodní pigmenty vyskytující se v mikroorganismech jako jsou řasy, kvasinky a sinice. Představují nejrozšířenější skupinu antioxidantů s významným biologickým účinkem. V současnosti vzrůstá zájem o karotenoidy vzhledem k jejich příznivým vlivům na lidské zdraví. Chlorofyly jsou zelená fotosyntetická barviva, která nacházejí uplatnění v potravinářství jako intenzivní zelená barviva. Koenzym Q je znám svým pozitivním vlivem pro správnou funkci řady orgánů v lidském těle. Ergosterol je nedílnou součástí membrán kvasinek a hub. Je to provitamin D2, který je důležitou součástí imunitního systému. Mikrobiální lipidy, nebo také ‚‚Single cell oils‘‘ jsou charakteristické vysokým obsahem zdraví prospěšných nenasycených mastných kyselin, které lze využít ve farmacii či kosmetice. Mikrobiální lipidy jsou dále studovány jako alternativa pro výrobu biopaliv. Dizertační práce byla zaměřena na studium a možnosti optimalizace produkce lipidů a lipidických látek vybranými kmeny karotenogenních kvasinek, mikrořas a sinic. V rámci práce byly testované kvasinky rodu Rhodotorula, Rhodosporidium, Cystofilobasidium a Sporidiobolus podrobené kultivacím na sérií médií s různými C/N poměry v rozsahu 13 až 100, obsahujících upravené odpadní substráty z potravinářského průmyslu. Vybrané kmeny byly poté kultivovány v bioreaktorech v médiu obsahujícím kombinaci odpadních substrátů. Kultivace mikrořas rodu Desmodesmus, Scenedesmus, Chlorella, Coccomyxa, Chlamydomonas, Botryococcus se zabývaly optimalizací jednotlivých komponent média a aplikací různých stresů s cílem navýšení produkce studovaných metabolitů. V rámci experimentů s extrémofilní mikrořasou Coccomyxa byly provedeny pilotní velkoobjemové kultivace v otevřených nádržích. V závěrečné části byl provedeny pilotní screeningové a velkoobjemové bioreaktorové experimenty zaměřené na možnosti kokultivace karotenogenních kvasinek a mikrořas. Testované kmeny kvasinek byly s rozdílnou úspěšností schopny utilizovat média obsahující hydrolyzované odpadní substráty. Nejlepším kmenem byl Sporidiobolus pararoseus, který na médiích dosahoval nejvyšších produkcí biomasy i sledovaných metabolitů. Z testovaných odpadních substrátů byla nejlepší kombinace odpadního fritovacího oleje a hydrolyzátu kávové sedliny. Úspěšná optimalizace složení hlavních komponent minerálního média vedla k zvýšené produkci studovaných metabolitů. Největší vliv měl optimální poměr P/N a aplikace oxidačního stresu. Nejlepších výsledků dosáhly mikrořasy rodu Desmodesmus a Scenedesmus. Velkoobjemové kultivace Coccomyxy onubensis potvrdily rezistenci kultury proti kontaminaci vnějšími vlivy a schopnost růstu za vysoké teploty a intenzity světelného záření. Kokultivační experimenty potvrdily schopnost symbiotického růstu kvasinek a mikrořas. Nejlepších výsledků dosahovaly všechny testované kvasinky s mikrořasami rodu Demsodesmus a Scenedesmus a v menší míře i rodu Coccomyxa.

Study of production properties of Metschnikowia yeasts
Chadimová, Markéta ; Szotkowski, Martin (referee) ; Němcová, Andrea (advisor)
Metschnikowia yeasts are able to produce under different conditions different amounts of lipids, which have remarkable uses in biotechnology and industry. This bachelor thesis is focused on the study of cultivation conditions under which yeasts produce the most lipids and also deals with which fatty acids these triacylglycerols are composed of. The influence of cultivation conditions on the amount of biomass is also monitored. Five yeast strains were examined, namely M. pulcherrima 145, M. pulcherrima 147, M. pulcherrima 149, M. andauensis 129 and M. chrysoperlae 1158. Cultivation media with different C/N ratios, containing glucose or cheap waste substrates (glycerol, coffee and waste fat) were used for cultivation. The cultivations were performed at several temperatures and then the amount of grown biomass was determined, and the composition and ratio of fatty acids were determined by gas chromatography. As yeast that produced the most biomass per time was determined the yeast M. chrysoperlae 1158, which after 336 hours of growth at 15 °C was able to produce 10,66 g/l of biomass on a medium with a ratio of C/N = 100. The highest amount of lipids was obtained with yeast M. andauensis 129 at 8 °C on medium with a ratio of C/N = 100 (21,57 % lipids in dry matter). If biomass production is also taken into account, the best results are obtained by the yeast M. chrysoperlae 1158 at a temperature of 11 ° C on a medium with a ratio of C/N = 100 with a biomass production of 10,15 g/l and 19,58 % lipids in dry matter. This yeast was therefore further cultivated on waste substrates.

Production of carotenoi by yeasts of the genus Cystofilobasidium
Vavrysová, Alena ; Kočí, Radka (referee) ; Márová, Ivana (advisor)
Carotenoids are important industrial pigments present practically in all living organisms. The aim of presented work is the study of regulation of carotenoid production in yeasts of the genus Cystofilobasidium in presence of exogenous stress factors. Growth curve of C. capitatum exhibited typical two-stage course with prolonged stationary phase similar to other carotenogenic yeasts. Maximal production of biomass and beta-carotene occurred in 103rd hour. Applied stress factors (2-5% NACl, 2-5 mM H2O2, 0,01-1 mM Se(IV), 0,1-5 mM Cr(III)) exhibited no significant influence on biomass production, which reached on average 8-9 g/l. Positive effect was observed in presence of 5mM Cr where 10 g/L of biomass was produced. Beta-carotene formation was positively influenced by many applied stress factors, the highest yield (695 g/g) was reached in presence of 0,1 mM Se(IV). No simultaneous regulation of ergosterol and carotenes was observed in Cystofilobasidium cells. Production properties of yeast strain C. capitatum CCY 10-1-1 wee compared with those of other carotenogenic yeasts of the genes Rhodotorula and Sporobolomyces. C. capitatum produced similar biomass yield as Rhodotorula sp. in presence of salt. Production of beta-carotene by C. capitatum was slightly higher than in Rhodotorula glutinis, but lower than in Sporobolomyces strains which exhibited substantially lower biomass production. Karyotype of C. capitatum is relatively different when compared with karyotype of other carotenogenic yeasts. Based on summary of our results in seems that yeasts C. capitatum exhibit similar physiological as well as production properties as some Rhodotorula strains. Thus, yeasts of the genus Cystofilobasidium could be potentially used to industrial production of carotenoid pigments as well as yeast biomass rich in carotenoids and some biogenic elements.

Simultaneous co-cultivation of selected strains of carotenogenic yeasts and autotrophic bacteria
Blažková, Jana ; Němcová, Andrea (referee) ; Szotkowski, Martin (advisor)
The submitted diploma thesis was focused on the study of co-cultivation of selected microorganisms, which were carotenogenic yeasts and cyanobacteria. The production of selected metabolites was compared in these co-cultivations. The main metabolites monitored were carotenoids, sterols, coenzyme Q10, chlorophylls and lipids. Furthermore, this work focused on the study and possibilities of optimizing the production of lipids and lipid substances in selected strains of carotenogenic yeasts and cyanobacterial species. The theoretical part is focused on the description of yeasts, especially carotenogenic yeasts, cyanobacteria and the chemical composition of the produced metabolites. Microorganisms such as yeast and cyanobacteria contain carotenoids, which are natural pigments and are classified as antioxidants. As antioxidants, they have significant biological effects, such as effects on human health. Coenzyme Q has a positive effect on the functioning of organs in the human body. Chlorophyll is widely used in the food industry as a green dye. Lipids produced by microorganisms contain a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids, which is currently used in cosmetics or pharmacy. The theoretical part also described the individual analytical methods by which the production of the monitored metabolites could be determined. The experimental part is focused on the production of carotenoids, sterols, coenzyme Q10 and chlorophyll, which were determined by HPLC, lipids and fatty acid profile were determined by GC. The determined metabolites are monitored in different types of co-culture partners (carotenogenic yeast and cyanobacteria) in media with different additions of macroelements (P, N and Mg). This was followed by a co-cultivation experiment using waste oils (frying and coffee oil) and a study of the effect of waste oils added to co-cultivations. Co-cultivation experiments confirmed the ability of carotenogenic yeasts and cyanobacteria to grow together. The best results were obtained with Rhodosporidium toruloides and Anabena torulosa, Rhodosporidium toruloides and Arthrospira maxima.
