Production of magnetic particles by microorganisms
Chvalkovská, Eva ; Mgr. Martina Mikešová, Ph.D. (roz. Pravečková) (referee) ; Trachtová, Štěpánka (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the magnetic nanoparticles produced by bacteria. These are two types of bacteria. First of them we can find in an industrial environment that produce magnetic nanoparticles using magnetosomes. Magnetosomes are units containing nanocrystals and are surrounded by a lipid layer. They are made up of chains and work as a compass. In this thesis I deal with possibilities of cultivation od these bacteria, acquisition of magnetosomes and subsequent processing. The second type is bacteria living in the human body, they start to produce magnetic nanoparticles after the addition of trigger, such as silver nitrate. Bakteria which can produce silver or ferrous nanoparticles are Bacillus sp, Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus casei ssp. casei and Lactobacillus fermentum. Experimental part of bachelor thesis focused on the production of silver nitrate in concetration of 0,1; 1; 2; 4 mM. The bacteria that have been shown to produce silver nanoparticles are Lactobacillus casei ssp. casei CCM 7088T a Lactobacillus casei ssp. casei CCM 7089 a Lactobacillus rhamnosus CCM 1825T.

Using different methods of DNA isolation of lactic acid bacteria in molecular biological methods
Chvalkovská, Eva ; Skoumalová, Petra (referee) ; Brázda, Václav (advisor)
This thesis focused on the probiotic bacteria, DNA isolated from these bacteria by three different methods and the effect of isolation on DNA identification using molecular biological methods. Probiotic bacteria are an important part of human intestinal tract. They have an important role in the function of the immune system due to adhesion to the mucosa of the intestinal flora. They create a inhostile environment for pathogens. Probiotic bacteria are commonly taken in the food like dairy products or food supplements. However, overuse of antibiotics is at risk of passing on the intrinsic resistance that probiotic bacteria have to the pathogenic bacteria. The intrinsic resistence they have to maintain the natural homeostasis of the intestinal tract. It is important to effectively identify risky probiotic bacteria that have the ability to transmit resistance to eliminate their presence in food and dietary supplements. Three methods of DNA isolation like phenol extraction method, magnetic particle isolation and commercial kit isolation were used in the experimental part. DNA was isolated from three dietary supplements, namely Biopron 9 premium, Linex forte and GS Lactobacily forte 21. The purity and concentration of the isolated DNA was detected spectrophotometrically. The presence of individual DNA strains in dietary supplements was confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The best method of isolation in terms of purity and concentration of isolated DNA was evaluated by RT-PCR and spectrophotometry using a commercial kit isolation method.
