| Abstract | Most studies concerned with the interactions between plasma discharges and bacteria have mainly focused on the germicidal effects and inactivation mechanisms, with little attention given to the survivor bioeffects, such as changes in metabolism. This paper investigated the production of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) from glycerol by Klebsiella pneumoniae after exposure to dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma in air at atmospheric pressure. Increase in 1,3-PD production as determined from flask culture was dependent on treatment time, and the highest production was observed for cells that were treated with DBD plasma for 4 min. Changes in the specific activities of the three key enzymes (glycerol dehydrogenase, glycerol dehydratase, and oxidoreductase) involved in the conversion of glycerol to 1,3-PD were detected in the extracts of treated cells. Increase in 1,3-PD production correlated with an increase in the activity levels of all three enzymes. Batch-fermentation results showed that DBD plasma-treated cells had a 59% increase in both 1,3-PD production (23.8 g/L versus 15 g/L) and productivity (1.19 g/L middoth versus 0.75 g/L middoth) over untreated cells. DBD plasma, therefore, can alter the metabolic activities of K. pneumoniae, resulting in enhanced production of 1,3-PD. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
