| Abstract | Two nifA-like genes, designated anfA and vnfA, have been identified in Azotobacter vinelandii. The anfA gene is located upstream from the nitrogenase-3 structural gene cluster (anfHDGK) and is preceded by a sequence that is potentially part of a ntrA-dependent promoter. The product of anfA appears to be required for expression of nitrogenase-3, since cells of the anfA deletion strain CA66 were unable to synthesize this nitrogenase when derepressed in N-free, Mo- and V-deficient medium. The vnfA gene was identified after determination of the nucleotide sequence of DNA flanking the Tn5 insertion in mutant strain CA46. Two open reading frames (ORF1 and ORF2) were found located upstream from the vnfA gene, and a nifE-like ORF, preceded by a possible ntrA-dependent promoter, was found downstream from this gene. It is not known whether vnfA is expressed only under N2-fixing conditions. However, potential ntrA-dependent promoters were found immediately upstream from vnfA (within the 3' end of ORF2) and immediately downstream from ORF1. The region spanning ORF1 and ORF2 contained an A + T-rich sequence that was also found immediately upstream from the potential ntrA-dependent promoter of anfA. The product of vnfA appears to be required for the synthesis of nitrogenase-2, since cells of strain CA46 synthesized only nitrogenase-1 and -3 but not nitrogenase-2 when grown in the presence of vanadium. The product of nifA, which is required for synthesis of nitrogenase-1, is not required for synthesis of either nitrogenase-2 or nitrogenase-3. However, growth data indicate that nifA is required for a factor (or factors) necessary for maximal diazotrophic growth under Mo- and V-deficient conditions. |

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.
