The nitric oxide synthase gene from Bacillus subtilis was heterologously expressed in Pseudomonas putida using a broad-host expression vector. Both the performance of the nitric oxide-specific fluorescent probe and the quantitative assessment of the nitric oxide end products demonstrated the generation of nitric oxide. The endogenous nitric oxide increased the motility of P. putida and decreased the capacity of P. putida and other multispecies bacteria to develop biofilms. On the practical side, endogenous nitric oxide offers an advantage in generating continuous, controllable levels of nitric oxide, which suggests a new method to use nitric oxide in the control of biofilms.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent endothelium-derived relaxing factor which also may modulate cardiomyocyte inotropism and growth via increasing cGMP. While endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) isoforms have been detected in non-human mammalian tissues, expression and localization of eNOS in the normal and failing human myocardium are poorly defined. Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate eNOS in human cardiac tissues in the presence and absence of congestive heart failure (CHF).Normal and failing atrial tissue were obtained from six cardiac donors and six end-stage heart failure patients undergoing primary cardiac transplantation. ENOS protein expression and localization was investigated utilizing Western blot analysis and immunohistochemical staining with the polyclonal rabbit antibody to eNOS (Transduction Laboratories, Lexington, Kentucky).
