Using of waste substrates for the lipid production by Metschnikowia yeasts
Cagáňová, Linda ; Márová, Ivana (referee) ; Němcová, Andrea (advisor)
This thesis was focused on study of biotechnological utilization of waste substrates to produce lipids by yeast of the genus Metschnikowia. Waste materials and their subsequent transformation into high value-added products such as microbial lipids are currently considered as an alternative source for biofuel production. Therefore, the experimental part was aimed at investigating the influence of a carbon source to the controlled overproduction of lipids by yeast Metschnikowia. Total of 12 yeast strains of the genus Metschnikowia were selected. Yeast strains M. pulcherrima , M. pulcherrima 147, M. pulcherrima 149, M. andauensis 129 a M. fructicola 15 were purchased from Culture Collection of Yeasts (CCY, Bratislava, Slovakia). The growth characteristics of this yeast strains were also studied. It may serve to better understanding of the physiology of the yeast strains and also to help in further analysis of the produced metabolites. The other strains M. chrysoperlae 1158, M. pulcherrima 1232, M. fructicola 1235, M. andauensis 1241, M. sinensis 1244, M. zizyphicola 1247 a M. shanxiensis 1250 were purchased from CBS (Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures, Utrecht, the Netherlands).Yeast strains were cultivated on crude animal fat, glycerol and cheese whey under conditions of different C/N ratios. Because of higher lipid yields, cultivation was carried out at 14°C for 14 days. The accumulated lipid content was determined by gas chromatography and Raman spectroscopy. The glycerol-containing medium was evaluated as the most suitable for microbial lipids production. The total amount of lipids present in cells of M. pulcherrima 1232 was 36,31%. At the same time, quantitative screening of lipase enzymatic activity in Metschnikowia yeast was performed using spectrophotometric method with p-NPP. Controlled production of lipolytic enzymes has been monitored by using two types of media: crude animal fat and crude animal fat with addition of emulsifier (Tween 80). The conclusion of the work was supplemented by analysis of the karyotype of yeasts of the genus Metschnikowia using the technique of pulsed gel electrophoresis.

Screening of extremozyme production of selected extremophilic PHA producers
Dyagilev, Dmitry ; Obruča, Stanislav (referee) ; Pernicová, Iva (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the screening of the production of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes in thermophilic microorganisms of the genera Aneurinibacillus, Brevibacillus, Chelatococcus, Pseudomonas, Schlegelella, Tepidimonas and Caldimonas. The ability of selected enzymes, namely proteases, lipases, amylases, xylanases, cellulases and pectinases, was tested in the investigated microorganisms. Such testing made it possible to assess in which microorganisms the production of specific enzymes can be observed. Based on the results of the screening, it was found that Schlegelella aquatica LMG 23380, Tepidimonas fonticaldi LMG 26746 and the investigated microorganisms of the genus Chelatococcus did not show the ability to produce any of the tested enzymes extracellularly. In natural isolates of Brevibacillus borstelensis LK 99 and Aneurinibacillus thermoaerophilus LK 102, only the ability to produce lipolytic enzymes was detected. The isolate Brevibacillus borstelensis Bz acts as a universal producer of all selected extremozymes. Enzyme activity was determined for selected producers. The bacterium Brevibacillus borstelensis Bz proved the ability to produce all six selected hydrolytic enzymes and has the highest activity of lipases, xylanases, cellulases and pectinases from the tested microorganisms. The highest proteolytic activity was measured in Thermomonas hydrothermalis DSM 14834 when cultured on skimmed milk powder.

Microbial Degradation of Polycaprolactone-based Materials
Damborský, Pavel ; Stratilová, Eva (referee) ; Hermanová, Soňa (advisor)
Diplomová práce se zabývá vlivem nutričních a aeračních faktorů na produkci lipáz bakterií Bacillus subtilis (CCM 1999). Produkce lipáz byla studována zejména z hlediska katalytického působení lipáz při degradaci polyesterových řetězců. Mezi studované parametry patřily: růst bakterií, lipolytická aktivita, pH optimum, teplotní optimum, tepelná stabilita, proteolytická aktivita, množství bílkovin, atd. a to v různých typech živných medií zaočkovaných Bacillus subtilis. Jedna série vzorků kultivačních médií pro BS na bázi: pepton a kvasničný extrakt (NB), pepton, kvasničný extrakt s 2% přídavkem (w/v) glukózy (NBG) a minerální médium s kvasničným extraktem (MS-YE) obsahovala jeden PCL vzorek o definovaných rozměrech (Mn = 10 kDa, = 1.4). Experimenty probíhaly po dobu 21 dnů pří rychlosti třepání 160 a 200 rpm. Přítomnost PCL způsobila v obou typech médií (NB, NBG) inokulovaných BS zvýšení lipolytické aktivity, což naznačuje, uvolnění a následné uplatnění se nízko-molekulekulárních řetězců PCL jako substrátů pro BS. BS kultivovaný v MS-YE medium vykazoval ve srovnání s NB a NBG médii nízké hodnoty lipolytické aktivity a to i v přítomnost PCL. Během experimentů se hodnota pH posunula z neutrální (pH 7.0) do alkalické (pH 8.5-9.3) oblasti a to ve všech typech médií s i bez přítomnosti PCL vzorku v důsledku metabolických pochodů BS využívajících různé substráty. Lipolytické enzymy stanovené v supernatanech bez bakteriálních buněk vykazují dvě pH optima v přítomnosti PCL, pH 7 a 9. V nepřítomnosti polymeru vykazují pouze jedno pH optimum při pH 7. Na základě měření tepelné stability bylo prokázáno, že extracelulární lipázy jsou relativně termostabilní enzymy, zejména v nepřítomnosti polymeru. Dále byla provedena základní proteomická analýza lipáz produkovaných bakterií Bacillus subtilis v NBG médiu pomocí metody peptidového mapování (PMF). Byla ověřena přítomnost proteinů s molární hmotnosti (19.3 kDa) pomocí FPLC. SDS-PAGE a IEF-PAGE prokázaly přítomnost těchto proteinů v obou studovaných mediích inokulovaných BS (NBG vs. NBG/PCL). Zásadní rozdíly proteinového složení v přítomnosti PCL nebyly potvrzeny a identifikace pomoci MALDI-TOF hmotnostní spektrometrie nestanovila žádnou lipázu. Proces degradace v PCL vzorcích byl vyhodnocen také na základě hmotnostních úbytků, které byly zjištěny ve všech typech médií inokulovaných BS pravděpodobně v důsledku synergického účinku enzymaticky-katalyzované a biotické hydrolýzy v alkalickém prostředí. . Modelová degradační studie PCL a jeho kompozitu s oxidem grafenu (2.7 hm.%, GO) byla provedena v přítomnosti bakterie Bacillus subtilis v NBG při 30 °C a počátečním pH 7 po dobu tří týdnů. Hmotností úbytky PCL filmů se postupně zvyšovaly během celého degradačního testu až ke 12 hm%. Degradace PLC/GO kompozitu probíhala pomaleji, což je prokázáno maximální hmotnostním úbytkem 5 hm%. Podobný charakter elučních křivek PCL a jeho kompozitu stanovený pomocí SEC potvrzoval snížení molární hmotnosti po degradaci.

Microorganisms with lipoplytic activity and their applications
Pavlačková, Jana ; Omelka, Ladislav (referee) ; Omelková, Jiřina (advisor)
Lipases are hydrolytic enzymes that are produced by many types of microorganisms. This thesis describes not only the microorganisms which produce lipases but also different possibilities for the industrial utilization of lipases. Lipases are widely used in reactions where the combination of a lipophilic substrate with a hydrophilic one is necessary – in the synthesis of ascorbic acid fatty esters, sugar esters, lipoaminoacids and in the lipophilization of phenolic derivatives. Lipases are also important in relation to environmental protection. For example, they are used for the purification of waste water. In this thesis, five different preparations containing microorganisms with lipolytic activity were tested for lipolytic activity. There are many ways of determining lipolytic activity. The spectrophotometric determination of lipolytic activity that uses the ability of lipases to divide p-nitrophenyllaurate to p-nitrophenol may serve as an example. After this p-nitophenol is detected spectrophotometricaly.
