The purpose of the research work was to examine the antifungal properties of cumin, rosemary and fennel essential oils. The goal of the study was also to determine antifungal activity of coatings containing the essential oils. The results of the study demonstrated that cumin, rosemary and fennel essential oils exhibited antifungal properties. The most sensitive strains were Botrytis cinerea and Mucor circinelloides. The cumin oil was found to be the most active. The growth of Botrytis cinerea and Mucor circinelloides was not observed even on medium containing 0.1% of cumin oil. The growth of Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus clavatus and Rhizopus oryzae was not noticed on mediums containig 0.5% of the oil. The similar results were obtained for fennel essential oil. 0.5% concentration of the oil in medium inhibited the growth of Botrytis cinerea, Mucor circinelloides, Aspergillus clavatus, Rhizopus oryzae. The rosemary oil did not inhibited the growth of fungi strains in concentration of 0,1%.

W pracy omówiono polihydroksyalkanolany, biopolimery o ogromnym potencjale. Scharakteryzowano ich właściwości i zastosowanie, zwracając uwagę na takie ich zalety jak biozgodność (brak toksyczności w stosunku do organizmu), podatność na biodegradację, czy właściwości termoplastyczne, zbliżone do tworzyw sztucznych. Niestety, pomimo wielu zalet, PHA nie są powszechnie wykorzystywane, głównie ze względu na wysoki koszt ich wytwarzania i oczyszczania. Dlatego w celu obniżenia kosztów podejmuje się działania w kierunku zastąpienia podczas hodowli drobnoustrojów źródła węgla tanimi materiałami odpadowymi. Kolejnym sposobem zmniejszenia kosztów produkcji PHA jest wykorzystanie modyfikowanych genetycznie mikroorganizmów. Alternatywą może być także poszukiwanie nowych metod wyodrębniania biopolimeru z komórek. Dobrym pomysłem może być także łączenie chemicznych i mechanicznych metod oczyszczania PHA. PHA bardzo często wykorzystywane są w medycynie, zastępując tworzywa sztuczne, gdzie istotne są właściwości materiałów oraz ich podatność na biodegradację. Niestety, ze względu na cenę, do wytwarzania polimerowych przedmiotów użytku codziennego, polimery syntetyczne wykorzystywane są częściej.

This paper discusses properties of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), biopolymers with a huge potential for practical applications. PHA have a number of advantages such as biocompatibility (no toxicity for organism), biodegradability and thermoplastic properties similar to those of synthetic plastics. Unfortunately, despite these advantages PHA are not widely used owing to the high costs of their preparation and purification. Therefore, in order to reduce these costs efforts are being undertaken to replace traditional carbon sources for cultivation of microorganisms by cheaper waste materials. Another way to reduce the cost of PHA production is the use of genetically modified microorganisms. An alternative approach may be also a search for new methods for extraction of these biopolymer from the cells including combination of chemical and mechanical methods of purification. PHA are very often used in medicine, because of their properties and biodegradability. In this area they substitute plastics. Unfortunately, costs of production from PHA polymeric objects for everyday use are still too high, so synthetic polymers remain predominantly in use.

The paper covered with a hydrophobic Topscreen coating was coated with the second layer. The goal of paper covering was to obtain the antimicrobial properties of the external coating. The samples were stored 2 months at 20 ºC. The influence of storage on the antimicrobial properties of the external coating was analyzed. The results of the study showed that paper covered with Topscreen coating did not have an influence on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus cells. The second (external) layer containing 2% polylysine as an active substance decreased the growth of S. aureus. The 2 months storage of the covered paper did not influence the antimicrobial properties of coating with polylysine against S. aureus. It was demonstrated that paper covered with hydrophobic coating had no influence on the growth of E. coli cells as well. In this case the influence of 2 months storage on the antimicrobial properties of the coating with polylysine was observed. In contrast to the results obtained for the samples that were not store, the decrease of the growth of the bacterial cells after 24 h contact with a hydrophobic coating devoid of an active substance was noticed.
