| Abstract | The marine bacterium Pseudomonas sp. strain S9 produces exopolysaccharides (EPS) during both growth and total energy source and nutrient starvation. Transmission electron microscopy of immunogold-labeled cells demonstrated that the EPS is closely associated with the cell surface during growth (integral EPS), while both the integral form and a loosely associated extracellular (peripheral) form were observed during starvation. Formation and release of the latter rendered the starvation medium viscous. In addition, after 3 h of starvation in static conditions, less than 5% of the cells were motile, compared with 100% at the onset of starvation and approximately 80% subsequent to release of the peripheral EPS at 27 h of starvation. Inhibition of protein synthesis with chloramphenicol added before 3 h of starvation caused no increase in viscosity. However, addition of chloramphenicol at 3 h did not prevent the subsequent increase in viscosity displayed by S9 cells. The amount of integral EPS increased for both nontreated and chloramphenicol-treated S9 cells during the first hour of starvation, with a subsequent equal decrease. The chloramphenicol-treated cells, as well as cells of a transposon-generated mutant strain deficient in peripheral EPS formation, remained adhesive to a hydrophobic inanimate surface during the initial 5 h of starvation, whereas nontreated wild-type cells had progressively decreased adhesion capacity. During the initial 5 h of starvation, most of the nontreated cells but only a small fraction of the chloramphenicol-treated and mutant cells detached from the hydrophobic substratum.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |

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.
