This diploma thesis is focused on the study of the effect of ultraviolet radiation and titanium dioxide on the yeast Candida vini. Photocatalytic inactivation of this yeast was performed on various types of titanium dioxide films, which were immobilized on soda lime glasses. Acridine orange was used as a dye to distinguish live and dead yeast cells after certain irradiation time. Live and dead cells emit different light in colour after staining in acridine orange. Candida vini photocatalytic inactivation depends on the amount of titanium dioxide immobilized on glass as well as on the structure of its surface if the lamp intensity remains the same. Kinetics of this photocatalytic process was studied, too.
