Křesinová, Zdena; Svobodová, Kateřina; Moeder, M.; Cajthaml, Tomáš
2009 - Czech
17ethinylestradiol (EE2) and bisphenol A (BA) are endocrine disrupting compounds (ED). ED have a negative influence on animals and human hormonal systems animals, and thus they are serious envronmental contaminants. This work was focused on biodegradtion of EE2 and BA using 8 white rot fungi strains in liquid media. Pleurotus ostreatus, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus and Irpex lacteus were able to remove both ED under detection limit (initial concetration was 10 ppm) during the first three days of cultivation. In contrary, Phanerochaete chrysosporium was not able to degrade both ED durin 2 weaks long cultivation 17 ethinylestradiol (EE2) a bisfenol A (BA) patří mezi skupinu látek označovaných jako endokrinní disruptory (ED). Tyto látky mají negativní vliv na hormonální systém živočichů a člověka, a představují závažný problém z hlediska kontaminace životního prostředí. Tato práce byla zaměřená na biodegradace uvedených látek pomocí osmi druhů hub bílé hniloby v tekutých médiích. Již během prvních tří dnů kultivace se zástupci kmenů Pleurotus ostreatus, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus a Irpex lacteus poklesla koncentrace obou ED z původní koncentrace10 ppm pod limit detekce. Naopak v experimentu s Phanerochaete chrysosporium nebyl zaznamenán pokles koncentrace EE2 a BA ani po dvou týdnech kultivace. Během degradačního pokusu byl dále měřen vliv přítomnosti EE2 a BA na expresi ligninolytických enzymů hub bílé hniloby (lakasa, manganperoxidasa a ligninperoxidasa), které by mohly participovat na biodegradačních procesech Keywords: ligninolytic fungi; biobiodegradation; endocrine disrupting compounds Available at various institutes of the ASCR

CHARACTERIZATION OF MICROBIAL POPULATIONS DURING COMPOSTING OF CONTAMINATED SOIL
Petránková, Mirka; Čechová, Zuzana; Brennerová, Mária; Cajthaml, Tomáš
2009 - Czech
Bioremediation is an indisputably advantageous approach to cleaning up contaminated soils. The efficiency of bioremediation depends on a number of factors, the most important of which are the ability of the bioremediative organism to degrade the target pollutants, the pollutant’s intrinsic properties (aqueous solubility being of key importance), and soil parameters. Composting has been recently shown to be efficient for remediation of soils contaminated e.g. with PAHs Bioremediace je jedna z nejvýhodnějších metod pro dekontaminaci znečištěných půd. Její účinnost závisí na několika faktorech, nejvíce však na schopnosti bioremediačních organismů degradovat cílové polutanty, na fyzikálně-chemických vlastnostech polutantů (např. rozpustnost ve vodě) a na vlastnostech půdy. Kompostování se ukazuje jako vhodná technika pro remediaci půd kontaminovaných např. PAU. Proces je založen na schopnosti mikrorganismů degradovat organický materiál v závislosti na termogenezi. Teplota uvnitř kompostovací jednotky může dosáhnout až 75 stupňů C. Pro remediaci je kompostovací substrát jednoduše smíchán s částí kontaminované půdy Keywords: Phospholipid fatty acids; biodegradation; composting Available at various institutes of the ASCR

Comparison of in vitro tests for measurement of estrogenity of chlorinated compounds and their use in the evaluation of biodegradation of chlorbenzoates by the fungus Panus tigrinus
Svobodová, Kateřina; Covino, S.; Křesinová, Zdena; Cajthaml, Tomáš
2009 - English
Recently, contamination of the environment by endocrine disruptive compounds, toxicity of these chemicals and their biodegradability are widely studied. This work is focused on estrogenity of chlorinated phenols and chlorbenzoic acids that represent potential degradation products of PCB compounds. Two different yeast bioassays for evaluation of estrogenity based on recombinated strains of Saccharomyces cerevisie were compared in this work. Estrogenic activity of chlorbenzoic acids varied with the chemical structure of chemicals. A mixture of chlorbenzoates (initial concentration 10 ppm) was degraded by a ligninolytic fungus Panus tigrinus in liquid cultures. Chemicals resulting from degradation were tested for their estrogenity, however, results indicated that the test responses were inhibited probably by some compounds present in the fungal culture liquid Keywords: yeast assay; biodegradation; chlorbenzoates Available at various institutes of the ASCR

Microalgae as a feedstock for production of bioethanol
Doucha, Jiří; Lívanský, Karel; Doušková, Irena; Zachleder, Vilém
2008 - English
Mnoho zemí aktivně vyvíjí program produkce biopaliv. Vedoucí postavení má v tomto směru Brazílie, kde současnou spotřebu benzínu ze 30 % pokrývá etanol vyráběný relativně levně z cukrové třtiny. Ve vyspělých zemích se bioetanol (3-5 % současné spotřeby benzínu) vyrábí především z kukuřice (USA) nebo z pšenice (EU). Nicméně produkce etanolu z obilnin je drahá. Slibnou surovinu představují mikroskopické řasy. Některé mohou překročit výtěžky zemědělských plodin 10–15 krát. Technologie růstu jednobuněčných řas v tenké vrstvě na nakloněných rovinách je porovnána se světově rozšířeným způsobem kultivace v otevřených bazénech. Bylo zjištěno, že díky vyšším výtěžkům a nižší spotřebě energie, jsou náklady na výrobu biomasy v tenkovrstvých reaktorech pouze 20 % v porovnání s otevřenými bazény Many countries are actively developing biofuels program. Leading in this field is Brazil whose present need of gasoline is supplied with 30 % by ethanol produced relatively cheaply from sugarcane. In developed countries bioethanol (3-5 % of present gasoline need) is produced mostly from corn (USA) or wheat (EU). However, ethanol production from cereals is expensive. Promising feedstock are microalgae. Some of them can surpass yields of classical crop 10-15 times. Technology of growth of unicellular Chlorella in very thin layer on inclined areas is compared with the technology of world-wide mode of cultivation in open ponds. It was found, that due to higher yields and lower energy needs, the cost of biomass production in thin-layer bioractores is only 20 % compared with ponds Keywords: biomass; microalgae; bioethanol Available at various institutes of the ASCR
