[Induction of the NO synthesis in lactobacilli under stress conditions]
Abstract:
An increase in the nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis in Lactobacillus plantarum 8P-A3 cells takes place under strong stress influence, which leads to a considerable decrease in the microbial cell viability: heating at 70 degrees C and 80 degrees C, prolonged cultivation, toxic effect of hexylresorcinol. The factors, which do not lead to cell death, such as heating at 60 degrees C, 50 microg/ml homoserine lactone, Bacillus intermedius 7P ribonuclease (binase) in concentrations up to 300 microg/ml, do not induce NO synthesis. The activation of the NO biosynthesis in response to stress treatment evidences to universality of key-mechanisms of stress response in cells differing in the level of their organization as well as to important role of nitric oxide in them.
