Identification of lactic acid bacteria in probiotic products (tablets) using amplification methods
Balogová, Petra ; Trachtová, Štěpánka (referee) ; Španová, Alena (advisor)
Lactobacillus have been playing a crucial role in the fermentation processes for millenia. Their probiotic effects have been studied deeply and nowadays they are used in the production of fermented products and food adjunkt including probiotic preparations. This thesis was focused on bakteria of genus Lactobacillus in probiotic preparations (tablets). Polymerase chain reaction method (PCR) based on amplification of DNA was used to identify lactobacillus in seven probiotic preparations. As DNA matrices whole DNA recovered from tablets with the help of magnetic microparticles (P(HEMA-co¬-GMA) coated by carboxylic groups was used into a PCR mixture. Genus specific PCR products (250 bp) were detected with the help of gel electrophoresis on agaróse. DNA of genus Lactobacillus was proved in all but one product. In this product only probiotic bacteria were declared presence without family identification was proved. It contained different bakteria then bakteria of Genus Lactobacillus probably.

Izolation and identification of DNA from probiotic bacteria in complex matrices
Balogová, Petra ; Horák, Daniel (referee) ; Rittich, Bohuslav (advisor)
Nowadays, probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and bifidobacteria are plentifully exploited in food processing industry. LAB and bifidobacteria are important part of microflora of gastro intestinal tract (GIT). Probiotics (most often just lactobacilli and bifidobakteria) can be supplied to the GIT of the organism like food complements. Species identification is therefore very important. New methods of identification of LAB and bifidobacteria are based on analysis of DNA. Mostly exploited method is polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In my diploma work, genus and species specific PCRs were used for identification of different species of bacteria of genus Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium in complex matrices of six food supplements (Zenflo, Linex Forte, Probian, Nutra Bona, GS lactobacillus Forte, Pangamin Bifi plus). Total DNA was isolated from crude lysates of cells present in tablets by magnetic particles coated by carboxyl groups . The preparation of cell lysates was optimalised. Different amounts of lysozyme (3 mg/ml, 10 mg/ml), time of incubation at laboratory temperature (1,5 hour, 3 hour) and time of incubation with SDS and proteinase K at 55 °C (1 hour, 3 hour, over all night) were tested. Isolated DNA was quantified and checked in PCR. Primers specific for genus Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and for species Lb. acidophilus, Lb. casei, Lb. rhamnosus and Lb. plantarum and B. animalis, B. bifidum, B. infantis, B. longum were used, respectively. All identified bacteria were in accord with the data declared by producer in 3 food supplements (Zenflo, Linex Forte and Pangamin Bifi Plus). The genus indentification was in accord with declaration of producer in other food products only (Probian, Nutra Bona, GS Laktobacily Forte).
