This diploma thesis deals with the use of thermal analysis in the study on effects of microbial inhibitors. The main aim of this work was to determine the utilization of the method, which is mainly used in different fields of science and research. Three bacterial strains: Cupriavidus necator H16, its mutant strain Cupriavidus necator PHB-4 and Halomonas halophila, were used as model microorganisms. The inhibitory effect of levulinic acid on growth and metabolic activity was monitored by microcalorimetry. It was found that bacteria were able to adapt to levulinic acid to a certain concentration - Cupriavidus necator to 5 g/l and Halomonas halophila to 2 g/l. The thermal analysis results were compared to a conventional method, which is commonly used to study the growth of microorganisms.
