Biotechnological production of PHB using non-traditional carbon sources
 Fialová, Tereza ; Pernicová, Iva (referee) ; Kovalčík, Adriána (advisor)
The bachelor thesis was focused on studying the possibilities of using waste rosehip byproducts obtained after the production of liqueurs as secondary carbon sources for the production of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). Cupriavidus necator was used for PHB biosynthesis. All cultures were run as submerged batch cultures in mineral media containing microelements in Erlenmeyer flasks for 72 hours. Rosehip oil obtained by hexane extraction from rosehip seeds and an enzymatic hydrolysate prepared from rosehip waste pulp were used as secondary carbon sources. After 72 hours of fermentation, yields showed that rosehip oil is a comparable carbon source to fructose for culturing of C. necator, in contrast to the enzymatic hydrolysate. Fermentation using 20 g / l rosehip oil produced 10.82 g / l biomass and 6.20 g / l PHB. This is about 21.6% more biomass and 13.1% more PHB than was received by fermentation using 20 g / l fructose. Fermentation of C. necator using an enzymatic hydrolysate with a reducing sugar concentration of 20 g / l gave only 2.92 g / l biomass and 0.12 g / l PHB. Even the combination of enzymatic hydrolysate with fructose did not prove satisfying yields for the production of PHB. Next, in liqueur, rosehip oil and enzymatic hydrolysate was also determined the content of total reducing sugars, phenolics, and total antioxidant activity. Moreover, the fatty acid profile and the content of dyes was determined in rosehip oil. The results showed that all selected rosehip products showed a significant range of total polyphenols (2.04 - 12.4 g GAE /l sample) and antioxidant activity (1.3 - 2.0 mmol TE /l sample).
