| Abstract | A heterotrophic bacterium, isolated from an acidic stream in a disused pyrite mine which contained copious growths of "acid streamers," displayed characteristics which differentiated it from previously described mesophilic acidophiles. The isolate was obligately acidophilic, with a pH range of 2.0 to 4.4 and an optimum pH of 3.0. The bacterium was unable to fix carbon dioxide but oxidized ferrous iron, although at a slower rate than either Thiobacillus ferrooxidans or Leptospirillum ferrooxidans. Elemental sulfur and manganese(II) were not oxidized. In liquid media, the isolate produced macroscopic streamerlike growths. Microscopic examination revealed that the bacterium formed long (greater than 100 microns) filaments which tended to disintegrate during later growth stages, producing single, motile cells and small filaments. The isolate did not appear to utilize the energy from ferrous iron oxidation. Both iron (ferrous or ferric) and an organic substrate were necessary to promote growth. The isolate displayed a lower tolerance to heavy metals than other iron-oxidizing acidophiles, and growth was inhibited by exposure to light. There was evidence of extracellular sheath production by the isolate. In this and some other respects, the isolate resembles members of the Sphaerotilus-Leptothrix group of filamentous bacteria. The guanine-plus-cytosine content of the isolate was 62 mol%, which is less than that recorded for Sphaerotilus-Leptothrix spp. and greater than those of L. ferrooxidans and most T. ferrooxidans isolates. |

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.
