| Abstract | Replication of the 50 and 58 moles per cent guanine plus cytosine (%GC) components of R factor 222 in Proteus mirabilis during growth in the presence and absence of chloramphenicol and after shifting exponential- and stationary-phase cells to conditions which inhibit host protein or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis was examined. Chloramphenicol reduced the growth rate but increased the amount of both R-factor components; the 58% GC component showed a larger proportionate increase. This was inferred to indicate reduced synthesis of an inhibitor that acts on both R-factor components and an initiator for replication of the 50% GC component. Replicative patterns observed after shifting exponential- and stationary-phase cells grown with or without chloramphenicol to minimal medium or chloramphenicol for one generation, or puromycin for 3 hr, corroborated this interpretation. After shifts of exponential cells from either medium, replication of the 50% GC components paralleled host replication, thus indicating a requirement for protein synthesis; replication of the 58% GC component increased due to reduced inhibitor synthesis. R-factor DNA remained constant after shifting stationary cells from drug-free medium, thus indicating that the cells contained effective concentrations of the regulatory inhibitor, whereas increased replication of the 58% GC component occurred after identical shifts of chloramphenicol-grown cells of the same chronological age. Similar responses were observed after shifts to 5 C or to medium containing streptomycin or tetracycline. Absence of replication of the 50% GC component after shifting to medium containing nalidixic acid or phenethanol and its hereditary persistence during growth indicated that the 50% GC replicon was attached to the membrane. Thus, in P. mirabilis the three replicons of R factor 222 are regulated as follows: The composite and transfer portion (RTF) replicons represented by the 50% GC component require protein synthesis and membrane attachment and are negatively regulated by an inhibitor; the 58% GC or resistance-determinants replicon exists cytoplasmically and is subject only to negative control. |

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.
