We study the role of dynamical quarks in the transport properties of the deconfined hot medium utilizing the quasiparticle kinetic approach. The system is then composed of the quasiparticle excitations, whose interactions are encoded in their dynamical masses with temperature dependence specified by the effective coupling extracted from lattice QCD thermodynamics. Evaluating the temperature and flavor profiles of the shear and bulk viscosities, as well as the electrical conductivity we examine how different particle species, in particular strange quarks, modify the transport parameters of the deconfined matter.
