Iné dôležité informácie k základným údajom o organizácii a zmeny za posledné obdobie (v zameraní, v organizačnej štruktúre a pod.) V roku 2016 nedošlo k žiadnym podstatným zmenám vo vedeckej orientácii Chemického ústavu SAV, ktorá bola naďalej zameraná na riešenie problematiky chémie a biochémie sacharidov a príslušných enzýmových systémov. V rámci organizačného členenia ústavu (od 1. 1. 2005), je vytvorených osem vedeckých oddelení: Štruktúra a funkcia sacharidov, Glykobiológia, Glykomateriály, Glykochémia, Glykobiotechnológia, Enzymológia sacharidov, Imunochémia glykokonjugátov a Zbierka kvasiniek (tieto vedecké oddelenia spolu tvoria Centrum glykomiky) a tri spoločné nevedecké oddelenia: Analytické, Realizačné a Ekonomicko-technické oddelenie. Chemický ústav SAV bol v rámci posledných dvoch pravidelných hodnotení vedeckých organizácií SAV (akreditácie) v roku 2007 a 2012 zaradený do najvyšších skupín (A* resp. A), čo svedčí o vysokej kvalite vedecko-výskumnej práce a ostatných zohľadňovaných ukazovateľov. Od 1. 1. 2009 sa zmenila forma hospodárenia ústavu z rozpočtovej na príspevkovú. 2 Správa o činnosti Chemického ústavu SAV 2. Vedecká činnosť 2.1.

Pheromone receptor Consistent with a role of mating type in mediating cytoplasmic-nuclear genomic conflict, Agaricomycetes have evolved away from a haploid yeast phase towards hyphal fusions that display reciprocal nuclear migration after mating rather than cytoplasmic fusion. Importantly, the evolution of this mating behavior is precisely timed with the onset of diversification of mating type alleles at the pheromone/receptor mating type loci that are known to control reciprocal nuclear migration during mating.

Knowledge on morphological mycelial features and asexual reproduction modes of coprini is restricted, with Coprinopsis cinerea being the best described species. This species produces constitutively on monokaryons and light-induced on dikaryons unicellular uninucleate haploid arthroconidia (oidia) on specific aerial structures (oidiophores). The anamorphic name Hormographiella aspergillata was coined for oidia production on monokaryons. Two other Hormographiella species are described in the literature, one unknown (candelabrata) and one (verticillata) identified as Coprinellus domesticus. Another, yet sterile anamorph associated with some coprini is called Ozonium which describes the incidence of tawny-rust mycelial mats of pigmented, well septated and clampless hyphal strands as

  • Shifts in Human Skin and Nares Microbiota of Healthy Children and Adults Julia Oh1, Sean Conlan1, Eric C Polley2, Julia a Segre1*† and Heidi H Kong3*†
    Oh et al. Genome Medicine 2012, 4:77 http://genomemedicine.com/content/4/10/77 RESEARCH Open Access Shifts in human skin and nares microbiota of healthy children and adults Julia Oh1, Sean Conlan1, Eric C Polley2, Julia A Segre1*† and Heidi H Kong3*† Abstract Background: Characterization of the topographical and temporal diversity of the microbial collective (microbiome) hosted by healthy human skin established a reference for studying disease-causing microbiomes. Physiologic changes occur in the skin as humans mature from infancy to adulthood. Thus, characterizations of adult microbiomes might have limitations when considering pediatric disorders such as atopic dermatitis (AD) or issues such as sites of microbial carriage. The objective of this study was to determine if microbial communities at several body sites in children differed significantly from adults. Methods: Using 16S-rRNA gene sequencing technology, we characterized and compared the bacterial communities of four body sites in relation to Tanner stage of human development. Body sites sampled included skin sites characteristically involved in AD (antecubital/popliteal fossae), a control skin site (volar forearm), and the nares. Twenty-eight healthy individuals aged from 2 to 40 years were evaluated at the outpatient dermatology clinic in the National Institutes of Health’s Clinical Center. Exclusion criteria included the use of systemic antibiotics within 6 months, current/prior chronic skin disorders, asthma, allergic rhinitis, or other chronic medical conditions. Results: Bacterial communities in the nares of children (Tanner developmental stage 1) differed strikingly from adults (Tanner developmental stage 5). Firmicutes (Streptococcaceae), Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria (b, g) were overrepresented in Tanner 1 compared to Tanner 5 individuals, where Corynebacteriaceae and Propionibacteriaceae predominated.

  • Monstruosities Under the Inkap Mushrooms
    Monstruosities under the Inkap Mushrooms M. Navarro-González*1; A. Domingo-Martínez1; S. S. Navarro-González1; P. Beutelmann2; U. Kües1 1. Molecular Wood Biotechnology, Institute of Forest Botany, Georg-August-University Göttingen, Büsgenweg 2, D-37077 Göttingen, Germany. 2. Institute of General Botany, Johannes Gutenberg-University of Mainz, Müllerweg 6, D-55099 Mainz, Germany Four different Inkcaps were isolated from horse dung and tested for growth on different medium. In addition to normal-shaped mushrooms, three of the isolates formed fruiting body-like structures re- sembling the anamorphs of Rhacophyllus lilaceus, a species originally believed to be asexual. Teleo- morphs of this species were later found and are known as Coprinus clastophyllus, respectively Coprinop- sis clastophylla. The fourth of our isolates also forms mushrooms but most of them are of crippled shape. Well-shaped umbrella-like mushrooms assigns this Inkcap to the clade Coprinellus. ITS se- quencing confirmed that the first three strains and the Rhacophyllus type strain belong to the genus Coprinopsis and that the fourth isolate belongs to the genus Coprinellus. 1. Introduction Inkcaps are a group of about 200 basidiomycetes whose mushrooms usually deliquesce shortly after maturation for spore liberation (see Fig. 1). Until re- cently, they were compiled under the one single genus Coprinus. However, molecular data divided this group into four new genera: Coprinus, Coprinop- sis, Coprinellus and Parasola (Redhead et al. 2001). Genetics and Cellular Biology of Basidiomycetes-VI. A.G.

  • Bacteria Forming a Resident Flora of the Skin As a Potential Source of Opportunistic Infections
    Polish Journal of Microbiology 2004, Vol. 53, No 4, 249255 Bacteria Forming a Resident Flora of the Skin as a Potential Source of Opportunistic Infections ANNA K. KAMIERCZAK and ELIGIA M. SZEWCZYK Department of Pharmaceutical Microbiology, Medical University of £ód, Pomorska 137, 90-235 £ód, Poland Received in revised form 19 July 2004 Abstract Along with progress of medicine, contribution that opportunistic bacteria make in nosocomial infections increases. Coagu- lase-negative staphylococci are these multiresistant strains which often cause this kind of infections. But more and more frequently other genera of bacteria are isolated. The main source of them is first and foremost the hospitalized patients endogenous flora e.g. from their skin, because transmission of bacteria from this source is very effective. Analysis was concerned with bacteria that were recovered repeatedly from the skin of young, healthy men during period of five months. Composition of resident bacteria, after removing transients was evaluated. The number of microorganisms per 1 cm2 patients skin was a constant value but different for each patient. Newly composed media enabled exact isolation and qualitative analysis of all groups of expected bacteria. Isolated microorganisms represented three main groups: sensitive to novobiocin staphylococci, microaerophilic rods from Propionibacterium genus and coryneform bacteria. Aside from quan- titative differences in total bacteria number, significant differences in contribution of aerobic and anaerobic flora living on patient skin were observed. A persistent although not predominant population occurring on the skin of all patients in similar number (average 2%), were coryneform bacteria. They mainly belonged to the Corynebacterium genus, and 84.7% of them were the lipophilic species.

  • Bachelor Thesis
    Bachelor Thesis Biomimetics of Extremophiles Institute of Applied Physics Vienna University of Technology Author: Supervisor: Sarafina Purer Ille C. Gebeshuber Student ID 1026207 [email protected] [email protected] Pappenheimgasse 35/1.1 Wiedner Hauptstrasse 8-10/134 A-1200 Vienna A-1040 Vienna Austria, Europe Austria, Europe August 15, 2017 Abstract Extremophiles are organisms capable of or dependent on living in extreme conditions which are considered toxic or deadly to other species. Their ability to thrive in such environments makes them interesting to study and promises a variety of coping mechanisms and unique traits which could be used in various fields. They could be especially promising in the field of bioremediation of waste that is problematic for the environment because of its longevity and toxicity, like non-decomposable plastic waste or even radioactive material. This thesis starts with an overview on types of extremophiles and their methods of survival, and goes into detail on oil- and plastic degrading extremophiles. Their chemical and physiological mechanisms are expanded on, including reaction pathways for aliphatic, with open chained bonds, and aromatic, with one or more electron-unsaturated hexagonal rings, hydrocarbons, as well as the similarities and differences in bacterial, fungal and eucaryotic metabolisms. A few methods for biotechnological remediation of oil contamination are elaborated on. The environmental impact of plastic waste and the comparatively small number of plastic degrading microorgansisms is discussed. An overview of contributing factors in microbial plastic degradation is given, and recent discoveries of plastic degrading species prompts a closer look at the newly found biodegradation pathway of PET, the aromatic polymer polyethylene terephthalate, which is primarily used for manufacturing plastic bottles.

  • Efficient Open Cultivation of Cyanidialean Red Algae in Acidified
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Efcient open cultivation of cyanidialean red algae in acidifed seawater Shunsuke Hirooka1*, Reiko Tomita1, Takayuki Fujiwara1,2, Mio Ohnuma3, Haruko Kuroiwa4, Tsuneyoshi Kuroiwa4 & Shin‑ya Miyagishima1,2* Microalgae possess high potential for producing pigments, antioxidants, and lipophilic compounds for industrial applications. However, their open pond cultures are often contaminated by other undesirable organisms, including their predators. In addition, the cost of using freshwater is relatively high, which limits the location and scale of cultivation compared with using seawater. It was previously shown that Cyanidium caldarium and Galdieria sulphuraria, but not Cyanidioschyzon merolae grew in media containing NaCl at a concentration equivalent to seawater. We found that the preculture of C. merolae in the presence of a moderate NaCl concentration enabled the cells to grow in the seawater‑based medium. The cultivation of cyanidialean red algae in the seawater‑based medium did not require additional pH bufering chemicals. In addition, the combination of seawater and acidic conditions reduced the risk of contamination by other organisms in the nonsterile open culture of C. merolae more efciently than the acidic condition alone. Microalgae are a highly diverse group of photosynthetic organisms found in both marine and freshwater habitats. Tey have the ability to produce many benefcial products, such as pigments, antioxidants, and lipophilic com- pounds for industrial applications 1. However, industrial applications of microalgae are limited to the production of relatively expensive materials because of the high costs associated with their cultivation. Open ponds are the simplest systems for mass algal production and cost less to build and operate than closed photobioreactors2.
