| Abstract | Oxygen (O2) uptake and release of O2 metabolites to the extracellular medium were studied with representatives of serotypes a through g of Streptococcus mutans. When incubated with glucose, washed cells of all strains took up O2 at rates proportional to the O2 concentration. When O2 was held constant at 0.2 mM, 0.2 to 0.5 mol of O2 was taken up per mol of glucose metabolized. Despite the similar rates of O2 uptake, the strains fell into three classes according to the amount of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) released. Strains BHT, FA-1, and OMZ-176 released up to 90% of O2 taken up as H2O2, which accumulated in the medium to concentrations as high as 2 mM. The high levels of H2O2 accumulation were correlated with low ability to reduce exogenous H2O2 to water. Strains Ingbritt and B-13 released about half as much H2O2, but H2O2 in the medium did not exceed 0.05 to 0.1 mM. Strains HS-6, AHT, GS-5, OMZ-175, LM-7, and 6515-15 released less than 10% of O2 taken up as H2O2, and H2O2 did not accumulate. Within this class, strains HS-6 and AHT released about 6% of O2 taken up as superoxide (O2-). Release of O2 metabolites was correlated with enzyme activities in cell-free extracts. Extracts from all strains catalyzed NADH-dependent O2 uptake. Extracts from H2O2-accumulating strains produced H2O2 when incubated with NADH and O2 and had low ability to catalyze NADH-dependent reduction of H2O2. Extracts from HS-6 and AHT had low superoxide dismutase activity, which may account for O2- release and the O2-sensitive growth of these strains. |

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.
