| Abstract | Because of the scarcity of literature on the successful use of serological methods for differentiation of Rhizobium meliloti isolates, the objectives of this study were to provide a rationale for selecting isolates to which antisera could be raised and to appraise the suitability of published methods of preparing R. meliloti antigens for the serological identification of field isolates. We used one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to develop protein profiles of eight field isolates and one commercial inoculant strain of R. meliloti in order to choose candidates that were either identical or distinctly different from each other for the production of antisera. The serological methods of tube agglutination and gel immunodiffusion complemented the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis method of identification. On the basis of their agglutination titers and gel immunodiffusion analysis, the isolates were placed in five serogroups which were identical to the groupings based on protein profiles. Antigenic characteristics of gel immunodiffusion antigens were influenced by the composition of the growth medium, sonication of whole-cell antigens, and the addition of Formalin. We recommend that careful attention be given to the effects of varying antigen preparation procedures when analyzing R. meliloti so that experimental protocols do not complicate the results. The wide range of homologous-antiserum titers observed for the nine isolates indicates different inherent degrees of immunogenicity of R. meliloti which cannot be predicted before serum production. The sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis method is a useful tool for screening a collection of R. meliloti isolates to better ensure that strain-specific antisera representative of different types of organisms will be obtained. |

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.
