MODULATION OF NITRIC OXIDE (NO) BIOSYNTHESIS IN LACTOBACILLI

https://doi.org/10.1234/XXXX-XXXX-2011-2-41-43

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.
