| Abstract | Anabaena sp. CA fails to synthesize heterocysts and nitrogenase when grown with KNO3 as the nitrogen source. By contrast, both heterocysts and proheterocysts are synthesized in NH4Cl-containing media to a level nearly commensurate with cells grown in the absence of combined nitrogen. The growth rate of the organism in NH4Cl-containing media was similar to that obtained with KNO3 as the nitrogen source and was independent of the presence of N2 in the atmosphere. Thus, our results indicate that the organism assimilated nitrate and ammonium nitrogen equally well to meet the nitrogen requirements for growth. Moreover, in contrast to previous studies with other cyanobacteria, the repressor singal for heterocyst differentiation in Anabaena sp. CA is not derived from the metabolism of ammonia but appears to be involved with nitrate metabolism. Nitrogenase activity was partially expressed in NH4Cl-grown cultures. Increasing the level of nitrogenase activity to a value representative of a N2-grown culture required both the inhibition of ammonia assimilation and de novo protein synthesis. An increase in the number of mature heterocysts was not required. The fact that high levels of exogenous ammonia only partially repress the synthesis of proteins required for the maximum expression of nitrogenase activity in Anabaena sp. CA has important implications. |

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.
