Nitric oxide synthases (EC 1.14.13.39) (NOSs) are a family of enzymes catalyzing the production of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine. NO is an important cellular signaling molecule. It helps modulate vascular tone, insulin secretion, airway tone, and peristalsis, and is involved in angiogenesis and neural development. It may function as a retrograde neurotransmitter. Nitric oxide is mediated in mammals by the calcium-calmodulin controlled isoenzymes eNOS (endothelial NOS) and nNOS (neuronal NOS).
Use of bacterial compositions in the treatment and prophylaxis of airway diseases
The present invention relates to the use of bacterial compositions having an arginine deiminase activity (inhibition of nitric oxide synthase by conversion of L-arginine to L-citrulline) of 1-1,000 μmol L-citrulline / h / g composition and a sphingomyelinase (ceramide generation) activity of 0.01-1.000 nmoles ceramides / h / g composition in the treatment and / or prophylaxis of airway diseases caused by viruses such as influenza viruses, coronaviruses, as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, avian viruses, respiratory syncytial virus (VRS), rhinoviruses, pneumoviruses, or respiratory failure induced or aggravated by viral infections, angina pectoris, pulmonary heart, respiratory distress, pulmonary edema, neonatal asphyxia, myocardial infarction, heart failure, respiratory failure Pickwick syndrome, pulmonary hypertension, pneumonia or even cystic fibrosis (CF) aggravated by viral infections.

Method of fixating and stabilizing nitric oxide metabolites through fermentation of nitrogen-containing natural substance
This invention relates to a method of fixating and stabilizing nitric oxide metabolites through fermentation of nitrogen-containing natural substance. According to the method of the invention, the fermentation efficiency is maximized by optimizing the fermentation conditions so that the productivity of nitric oxide metabolites is significantly improved. Thus, eating a fermented natural substance in which nitric oxide metabolites are fixated and stabilized by the method of the present invention would be helpful for maintaining the homeostasis of human body, in which nitric oxide synthase is either absent or insufficient, based on vasodilation and activation of a neurotransmitter and immune function as medical efficacy of nitric oxide.
