| Abstract | A method was developed to enumerate the procaryotic and eucaryotic phenol-mineralizing microorganisms present in samples of fresh water. Sixty-five percent or greater mineralization of [U-14C]phenol was considered a positive tube (contained phenol-mineralizing microorganisms) in the most-probable-number technique. Replicate most-probable-number tubes contained no microbial inhibitors, streptomycin and tetracycline, or cyclohexamide and nystatin plus 200 pg to 100 micrograms of phenol per ml. Phenol mineralization rates were obtained by measuring the amount of exogenous phenol that disappeared from solution over time in the presence or absence of the microbial inhibitors. Initially, less than 100 phenol-mineralizing bacteria per ml and 1 phenol-mineralizing fungus per ml were present at both 200 pg and 100 micrograms of phenol per ml. Phenol mineralization rates were 6.3 times greater for the mineralizing bacteria than for the fungi at 200 pg of phenol per ml. Phenol concentrations above 10 micrograms/ml were inhibitory to the microorganisms capable of mineralizing phenol. The phenol mineralizers grew in the water samples in the absence of phenol, indicating that there were sufficient indigenous nutrients in the lake water to support growth. There was no difference in the growth rate of these microorganisms in the presence or absence of 1 ng of phenol per ml, whereas the growth rate was more rapid at 1 microgram of phenol per ml than in its absence. There was a correlation between microbial growth and the amount of phenol mineralized at 1 microgram but not at 1 ng of phenol per ml.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |

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.
