| Abstract | A pseudomonad capable of producing γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was isolated from seawater via an enrichment in which glutamate was the sole carbon and nitrogen source. The organism grew optimally at pH 7.3 and at 25°C. Putrescine, alanine, and glucose-nitrate also served as effective growth substrates. The isolate grew poorly on GABA. Cell suspensions of the organism in 0.02 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.6) containing NaCl (19.4 g liter-1) and MgCl2. 6H2O(3 g liter-1) produced GABA from succinic semialdehyde in combination with glutamate or alanine but not from any substrate alone. Little or no GABA was produced with putrescine or glucose-nitrate as substrates. GABA production in the amino acid cosubstrate systems was transitory with optimum levels occurring in the suspension fluid after 3 h of incubation (0.3 and 0.03 mM for glutamate and alanine cosubstrates, respectively). However, yields of GABA in the cell suspension fluid were low, and quantities near that predicted from stoichiometry could be obtained only by extracting cell suspensions with methanol. GABA release in the suspension fluid was increased with higher pH or by decreasing NaCl. Substitution of the salt by the equivalent Tris-HCl or KCl likewise resulted in increased GABA release. When nigericin (10 μg ml-1) was added to cell suspensions in which NaCl was not decreased, GABA release increased in a way similar to that observed in suspensions with decreased NaCl. The ionophore also decreased GABA uptake by cell suspensions of GABA-grown cells, and the effect was duplicated by lowering NaCl in cell suspensions. The results indicate a role for an Na+-dependent transport system in GABA release. |

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.
