MODULATION OF NITRIC OXIDE (NO) BIOSYNTHESIS IN LACTOBACILLI

Abstract
We characterized effects of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) substrate and inhibitors on NO biosynthesis in probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum 8P-A3. NO-synthase derived origin of de- tected nitric oxide was confirmed by induction of NO production by exogenous L-arginine. None of used inhibitors of three isoforms of mammalian NOSs (L-NAME, L-NIL, nNOS inhibitor I) showed significant inhibitory effect on lactobacillar NO-synthase activity.
