2001-2002 Master's thesis:   “The role of flavonoids in response to biotic and abiotic stress”

Supervisor:  dr. hab. eng.  Marcin Łukaszewicz

About:

Within the thesis preparation of the material from different parts of plants for the determination of anthocyanin’s, antioxidant status and chlorophyll was set-up . The content of anthocyanin, antioxidant potential and chlorophyll was evaluated for different transgenic plants.  The correlation between anthocyanin content and the level of IC 50 was investigated.

  • Biosurfactants

    We identified chemical structures of newly isolated biosurfactants which are secreted by Arctic microorganisms. We are investigating their antibacterial, antifungal properties as well as proapoptotic activity. Biosurfactants can be used as an antiseptics.

  • Biogas

    We are investigating and optimizing the efficiency of metanogenesis in bioreactors. We are also testing various substrates (industrial waste) as materials for biogas production. Microorganisms which participate in this process are investigated as e.g. biofilm producers.

  • Bacteriophages

    Bacteriophages or phages are bacterial viruses. We isolated and are now investigating phages which kill Bacillus strains. Beside the basic research, the collection of phages can be used in industry as for example eliminators of infections.

  • Antiseptics

    Fungal infections are difficult to treat because of the small number of effective drugs. Candida albicans resistance depends on the activity of ABC transporters (MDR, CDR). We have investigated strains and methods for finding new antifungal compounds (synthetic and natural) e.g. probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii.
