Experimental study on the adsorption of bacterial cells on solid surfaces
Kahanovská, Kristína ; Obruča, Stanislav (referee) ; Sedláček, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on an optimalization of simple laboratory model systems which serve as an innovative tool for an experimental study on the adsorption of bacterial cells on solid surfaces. In the description of living biological systems, an adsorption is labelled as an adhesion. Designed model systems were validated with a physical-chemical analysis. Various techniques were used to determine bacteria properties, more specifically Burkholderia cepacia and Bacillus megaterium. The solid surfaces after sorption of bacterial cells of Bacillus megaterium were subjected to a structural and visual analysis. Applying the theoretical approach (e.g. using different physical-chemical models) to study the adhesion of microorganisms to a particular surface allows a prediction of the conditions for a successful adhesion. The results will give us a better understanding of a formation and development of a biofilm.

STM study of adsorption and mobility of phtalocyanine molecules on passivated silicon surfaces at lower temperatures
Szabo, Michal ; Ošťádal, Ivan (advisor) ; Matvija, Peter (referee)
The thesis deals with an experiment for studying adsorption of phthalocyanin molecules on silicon surface passivated by a tin reconstruction. The main technique used for imaging surface is scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The work contains a brief introduction to the studied problem. It deals with the STM method and STM construction. The used ultra-vacuum experimental system is characterized together with particular steps at sample preparation for STM measurements. During the sample preparation all necessary operations were tested on the newly modified system and calibration measurements of sample annealing and tin deposition were performed. A structure of the prepared surface Si(111) 7×7 was investigated by STM and conditions for the preparation in the new system were specified. STM images were used for an evaluation of results at optimizing preparation of the passivated surface. Obtained results are important for further experiments in frame of a research focused on growing molecular structures on silicon surfaces.
