Mikroalge kot vir spojin za zaščito pred soncem

Bažec, Kaja (author), Jamnik, Polona (mentor)

Diplomsko delo v prvem delu vključuje pregled škodljivih učinkov UV sevanja in UV filtrov, ki jih uporabljajo v sredstvih za zaščito pred soncem. Prav tako vključuje pregled prilagoditve mikroalg na UV sevanje in zaščitne učinke spojin mikroalg, kot alternativa UV filtrom. V drugem delu pa so predstavljeni rezultati eksperimentalnega dela, v katerem je bila kot modelni organizem uporabljena kvasovka S. cerevisiae, na kateri smo preverjali potencialno spremembo preživelosti po tretiranju z ekstrakti mikroalge A. platensis in naknadni izpostavitvi UV sevanju.

• Title: Microalgae as a source of sun protection compounds

Abstract

This thesis in the first part includes an overview of harmful effects of UV radiation and UV filters, which are used in sunscreens. It also includes an overview of microalgal adaptation to UV radiation and protective effects of microalgae compounds as an alternative to UV filters. In the second part of the thesis the experimental results are shown. S. cerevisiae yeast was used as a model organism on which we examined the potential change in survival after pretreatment with extracts of microalgae A. platensis and after exposure to UV radiation.
