NITROGEN MONOXIDE PRODUCER IN FOOD OR DIETETIC, OR MEDICINAL COMPOSITION, DIETETIC OR MEDICINAL COMPOSITION Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: biotechnology, medicine, food industry. SUBSTANCE: invention proposes to use strains of Propionobacterium acidipropionici and/or Propionobacterium freudenreichii that are able to release and accumulate nitrogen monoxide in cultural tube in the concentration at least 1 mcg/ml in culturing in 5 ml of medium YEL containing 550 mcmole nitrite/l for 72 h at 30 C under helium atmosphere. Dietetic or medicinal composition comprises the preparation prepared of strains of propionic acid producing microorganisms designated above. The usage of producers of nitrogen monoxide- -producing microorganisms exhibits favorable influence of intestinal motility. Invention can be used in food industry for preparing composition comprising propionic acid microorganisms able to excrete physiologically significant amounts of nitrogen monoxide into human or animal gastroenteric tract. EFFECT: valuable properties of bacterial strains. 12 cl, 17 dwg, 1 tbl
