| Abstract | Pseudomonas pickettii YH105 was isolated for its ability to utilize p-nitrobenzoate as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy. Degradation of p-nitrobenzoate by this strain proceeds through a reductive route as evidenced by the accumulation of ammonia in the culture medium during growth on p-nitrobenzoate. Enzyme assays and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of culture supernatants indicate that p-nitrobenzoate is degraded through p-hydroxylaminobenzoate and protocatechuate. In order to clone the genes responsible for the initial steps in the catabolic pathway, a cosmid library was constructed with P. pickettii YH105 genomic DNA. The library was screened for clones capable of transforming p-nitrobenzoate to protocatechuate, using a plate assay specific for diphenolic compounds. HPLC analysis of culture supernatants confirmed that the cosmid clones did indeed produce protocatechuate from p-nitrobenzoate. Five positive cosmid clones that possessed this activity were identified. Restriction digests of the cosmid clones indicated that all of the clones had two EcoRI fragments in common (3.9 and 1.0 kb). One of these cosmid clones, designated pGJZ1601, was chosen for further analysis. Subcloning and activity assay experiments localized the genes responsible for the conversion of p-nitrobenzoate to protocatechuate to a 1.4-kb SalI-SphI DNA fragment. Further subcloning experiments localized the gene coding for p-nitrobenzoate reductase, responsible for the first enzymatic step in the catabolic pathway, to a 0.8-kb SalI-ApaI DNA fragment. The gene for the second step in the catabolic pathway, coding for hydroxylaminolyase, was located adjacent to the gene for the p-nitrobenzoate reductase. |

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.
