Molecular Cytology and Genetics

Anotácia v hlavnom jazyku práce: Bioprospecting of extreme environments provides clear evidence that extreme conditions naturally select microorganisms with modified biochemistry giving opportunity for new compounds, genes, and processes discoveries. The aim of the project is an in-depth exploration of the uncharted realm of halophilic archaea, focusing on the Miocene salt deposits as a unique and understudied environment. The Miocene salt deposits could serve as a natural repository of ancient genetic material, providing insights into the evolutionary history and ecological roles of halophilic archaea. By combination of advanced molecular techniques and culturing methods, an array of halophilic archaea from these deposits will be isolated and characterized. The bioprospecting potential of these halophilic archaea with applications in modern biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and sustainable industries will be analyzed. Novel enzymes, biosurfactants, and bioactive compounds will be identified in addressing environmental challenges. The study will contribute significantly to the expanding knowledge of halophilic archaea ecosystems and highlights the protection and sustainable utilization of these microbial resources for future biotechnological advancements.
