Characetrization of selected microbial enzymes

This bachelor´s thesis is focused on controlled production and identification of extracellular microbial hydrolytic enzymes by fungi. Theoretical part deals with characterization of selected hydrolytic enzymes, their properties, possibility of production and application. In experimental part the production of enzymes by fungal strains Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Aureobasidium pullulans and Aspergillus oryzae was performed. Cultivation was conducted in submersed mode in mineral medium and in media with waste co-substrates such as wheat bran, sawdust, rapeseed cake (lipids content 2,55 %) and rapeseed cake rich in lipids (9 %). The activity of cellulases, xylanases, amylases, ligninperoxidase, manganese-dependent peroxidase and laccase was monitored during cultivation process and regularly on 3rd, 7th, 10th and 15th day of cultivation. Production of enzymes depended on time and the subsrate type. Cellulases and xylanases were produced mainly on 3rd and 7th day of cultivation, amylases on 3rd and 15th day and lignolytic enzymes on 7th and 15th day. Samples were further separated and analyzed by ultrafiltration, gel filtration and PAGE-SDS electroforesis
