| Abstract | Growing cells of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, but not those of closely related Yersinia pestis, rapidly destroyed exogenous L-aspartic and L-glutamic acids, thus prompting a comparative study of dicarboxylic amino acid catabolism. Rates of amino acid metabolism by resting cells of both species were determined at pH 5.5, 7.0, and 8.5. Regardless of pH, Y. pseudotuberculosis destroyed L-glutamic acid, L-glutamine, L-aspartic acid, and L-asparagine at rates greater than those observed for Y. pestis. Although rates of proline degardation were similar, its metabolism by Y. pestis at pH 8.5 resulted in excretion of glutamic and aspartic acids. Similarly, Y. pestis excreted aspartic acid when incubated with L-glutamic acid (pH 8.5) or L-asparagine (pH 5.5, 7.0, and 8.5). Aspartase activity was not detected in extracts of 10 strains of Y. pestis but was present in all 11 isolates of Y. pseudotuberculosis. The latter contained significantly more glutaminase, asparaginase, and L-glutamate-oxalacetate transminase activity than did extracts of Y. pestis; specific activities of L-glutamate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase were similar. The observed differences in dicarboxylic amino acid metabolism are traceable to asparatase deficiency in Y. pestis and may account for the slow doubling time of this organism relative to Y. pseudotuberculosis. |

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.
