| Abstract | Depending on their phospholipid composition, liposomes are endocytosed by, or fuse with, the plasma membrane, of Acanthamoeba castellanii. Unilamellar egg lecithin vesicles are endocytosed by amoeba at 28 degrees C with equal uptake of the phospholipid bilayer and the contents of the internal aqueous space of the vesicles. Uptake is inhibited almost completely by incubation at 4 degrees C or in the presence of dinitrophenol. After uptake at 28 degrees C, the vesicle phospholipid can be visualized by electron microscope autoradiography within cytoplasmic vacuoles. In contrast, uptake of unilamellar dipalmitoyl lecithin vesicles and multilamellar dipalmitoyl lecithin liposomes is only partially inhibited at 4 degrees C, by dinitrophenol and by prior fixation of the amoebae with glutaraldehyde, each of which inhibits pinocytosis. Vesicle contents are taken up only about 40% as well as the phospholipid bilayer. Electron micrographs are compatible with the interpretation that dipalmitoyl lecithin vesicles fuse with the amoeba plasma membrane, adding their phospholipid to the cell surface, while their contents enter the cell cytoplasm. Dimyristoyl lecithin vesicles behave like egg lecithin vesicles while distearoyl lecithin vesicles behave like dipalmitoyl lecithin vesicles. |

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.
