This thesis was focused on study of biotechnological utilization of waste substrates to produce lipids by yeast of the genus Metschnikowia. Waste materials and their subsequent transformation into high value-added products such as microbial lipids are currently considered as an alternative source for biofuel production. Therefore, the experimental part was aimed at investigating the influence of a carbon source to the controlled overproduction of lipids by yeast Metschnikowia. Total of 12 yeast strains of the genus Metschnikowia were selected. Yeast strains M. pulcherrima , M. pulcherrima 147, M. pulcherrima 149, M. andauensis 129 a M. fructicola 15 were purchased from Culture Collection of Yeasts (CCY, Bratislava, Slovakia). The growth characteristics of this yeast strains were also studied. It may serve to better understanding of the physiology of the yeast strains and also to help in further analysis of the produced metabolites. The other strains M. chrysoperlae 1158, M. pulcherrima 1232, M. fructicola 1235, M. andauensis 1241, M. sinensis 1244, M. zizyphicola 1247 a M. shanxiensis 1250 were purchased from CBS (Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures, Utrecht, the Netherlands).Yeast strains were cultivated on crude animal fat, glycerol and cheese whey under conditions of different C/N ratios. Because of higher lipid yields, cultivation was carried out at 14°C for 14 days. The accumulated lipid content was determined by gas chromatography and Raman spectroscopy. The glycerol-containing medium was evaluated as the most suitable for microbial lipids production. The total amount of lipids present in cells of M. pulcherrima 1232 was 36,31%. At the same time, quantitative screening of lipase enzymatic activity in Metschnikowia yeast was performed using spectrophotometric method with p-NPP. Controlled production of lipolytic enzymes has been monitored by using two types of media: crude animal fat and crude animal fat with addition of emulsifier (Tween 80). The conclusion of the work was supplemented by analysis of the karyotype of yeasts of the genus Metschnikowia using the technique of pulsed gel electrophoresis.
