Mikroskopické vláknité houby ve vodách

Abstract

This bachelor’s thesis focuses on the issue of microscopic filamentous fungi in the aquatic environment and their importance for the quality of drinking water. The theoretical part summarizes information on taxonomy, the occurrence of significant representatives, biofilm formation, and the influence of factors such as pH, oxygen content, and temperature. The thesis also includes an overview of current legislation related to these microorganisms in water.The results of this bachelor’s thesis indicate that microscopic filamentous fungi represent a significant, yet still insufficiently monitored parameter of water quality. The thesis further points out shortcomings in the current legislation, which in the Czech Republic does not set limits or mandatory monitoring for microscopic filamentous fungi in drinking water. Their presence may therefore remain overlooked, which can have very negative impacts on human health.
