| Abstract | The Fe protein of nitrogenase in the marine nonheterocystous cyanobacterium Trichodesmium thiebautii is interconverted between two forms, which is reminiscent of the ADP-ribosylation described in the purple bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum. In natural populations of T. thiebautii during the day, when nitrogenase activity (NA) is present and while photosynthetic rates are high, a low-molecular-mass form of the Fe protein is present. In the late afternoon, the low-molecular-mass form is partially converted to a higher-molecular-mass form (approximately equal distribution of high- and low-molecular-mass forms of the Fe protein subunits), concurrent with cessation of NA. Some of the higher-molecular-mass form persists through the night until the very early morning, when the lower-molecular-mass form appears. New synthesis of both the Fe and MoFe proteins of nitrogenase appears to occur at this time. The higher-molecular-mass form of the Fe protein is also produced rapidly in response to artificially elevated external O2 levels (40%) during the day. T. thiebautii is capable of recovery of NA in less than 1 h following exposure to 40% O2, which is correlated with the return of the Fe protein to the lower-molecular-mass form. Recovery from exposure to O2 is not dependent upon protein synthesis. The modification of the Fe protein is clearly involved in regulation of NA during the diel cycle of NA in T. thiebautii but may also be involved in protecting the Fe protein during transient O2 concentration increases. |

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.
