The impact of physical methods and new chemical preparations based on nanoparticles on selected wood-rotting fungi invading wooden structures - possibilities and limitations of modern techniques of prevention
Švec, Karel ; Gabriel, Jiří (advisor) ; Ptáček, Petr (referee)
83 Abstract The work focuses on the physiology of wood-rotting fungi and the possibilities of their inhibition by physical methods (microwave and gamma irradiations, dry heat) or newly developed chemical preparatives contaning metallic nanoparticles. The effect of abovementioned treatments on mycelial growth, activities of extracellular enzymes responsible for wood degradation and on spore germination or viability was studied in selected strains of wood-rotting fungi obtained from culture collection (Coniophora puteana, Fibroporia vaillantii, Gloeophyllum sepiarium) or isolated from infected buildings (Serpula lacrymans).
Production of toxins by Bacillus subtilis and their roles in interspecies competitions.
Šureková, Kristína ; Krásný, Libor (advisor) ; Mikušová, Gabriela (referee)
Bacillus subtilis is a gram positive soil bacterium that is surrounded by many other microorganisms its environment. That is why it is necessary for the bacterium to be able to fight with these microorganisms for the nutrients and living space. B. subtilis contains the modules in its genetic make-up that improve its ability to compete. These modules are called the toxin-antitoxin systems. This Diploma Thesis is trying to identify yet undescribed extracellular toxins produced by the wild type BSB1 strain of B. subtilis. The related microorganism Bacillus megaterium was used as a competing bacterium. The contact-dependent or independent manner of killing the competing bacterium was demonstrated using this model. By deletion analysis and comparisons of the genomes of the various strains of B. subtilis, the SPβ prophage was first identified as a region containing an unknown toxin(s). Analysis of the extracellular proteome of B. subtilis subsequently revealed an unknown toxin (or toxin complex, respectively) of the molecular weight exceeding 100 kDa. Even more fascinating was the finding that such a large protein molecule is resistant to the pancreatic protease, trypsin. Subsequent non-enzymatic cyanogen bromide cleavage of the extracellular proteins and their analysis by mass spectrometry revealed...
