Probiotics and their use in food industry
Diado, Aleksandra ; Rittich, Bohuslav (referee) ; Španová, Alena (advisor)
Probiotic bacteria are defined as live microorganisms, which when consumed in the determining quantities, have healthy and beneficial effects. Most of probiotics belongs to the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. These and other genera of microorganisms are successfully used in industry, including food industry at present. Probiotics are used primarily in dairy products and food additives in food idustry. Probiotic bacteria, like other organisms, can be to identifie by PCR method that allows amplifying specific regions of DNA. Polymerase chain reaction was performed after DNA isolation from bacterial cultures of three strains using phenol extraction method. PCR specific for the domain Bacteria and genus-specific PCR were used for the confirmation of the presence of bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus.

Application of real-time PCR in microbiological analysis of food-stuffs
Novotná, Eva ; Michaela, Kotianová (referee) ; Španová, Alena (advisor)
Probiotic lactic acid bacteria of genus Lactobacillus play an important role in the digestive tract of human, e.g. protect against pathogenic microorganisms. Lactobacilli are often present in various food products. Lactic acid bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus can be detected by polymerace chain reaction (PCR) using specific primers LbLMA1 and R16. The bacterial DNA was isolated from Actimel Natur probiotic product by the phenol extraction method. DNA was amplified using real time PCR. Specific PCR products were detected using fluorescent intercalaction dye SybrGreen. The specific PCR products were verified by melting curve analysis (Tm 85°C) and by agarose gel electrophoresis (PCR products of 250 bp was amplified).
