| Abstract | Using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, we studied the chromosomes of spotted fever group rickettsiae. We digested the DNA of 16 species currently known to belong to this group with SmaI, EagI, and BssHII. The genome size of 13 rickettsiae was between 1,200 and 1,300 kb. "Rickettsia massiliae" and "R. helvetica" genome sizes were 1,370 and 1,397 kb, respectively, and that of R. bellii was 1,660 kb. It was possible to obtain distinctive patterns for each species, but in R. conorii, 10 isolates exhibited the same profiles, showing that pulsed-field gel electrophoresis is a good interspecies identification tool. We achieved a phylogenetic analysis of these bacteria by using the Dice coefficient and UPGMA and Package Philip programming. We established a dendrogram of the genetic relationships between the different species showing the existence of a cluster in the spotted fever group rickettsiae including R. conorii, R. rickettsii, R. parkeri, R. sibirica, "R. africae," "R. slovaca," Thai tick typhus rickettsia, and Israeli tick typhus rickettsia. We located three genes previously cloned and sequenced (genes encoding the R. rickettsii surface proteins of 120 and 190 kDa and the R. prowazekii citrate synthase gene), using Southern hybridization. The genes encoding citrate synthase and the surface protein of 190 kDa were usually located on the same band, and it is hypothesized that they are relatively close on the chromosome. |

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.
