| Abstract | The genetic determinant for the K99 adhesin of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli B41 [O101:K99] has been cloned as a 7.0-kilobase BamHI-generated DNA fragment into the vector pBR322 by us and others (J. D. A. van Embden, F. K. de Graaf, L. M. Schouls, and J. S. Teppma, Infect. Immun. 29:1125-1133, 1980). Cells harboring one such construction, known as pK99-64, are capable of expressing K99 antigen on the cell surface. We replaced the natural promoter sequence for the gene encoding the K99 pilus subunit with a strong, inducible exogenous promoter, the E. coli tryptophan (trp) operon promoter, to construct the plasmid pBR-TrpK99. E. coli cells harboring pBR-TrpK99 or a similar construction in the plasmid pDR540, known as pKO-TrpK99, upon induction with 3-beta-indoleacrylic acid, produced about fourfold more K99 antigen than did cells bearing pK99-64 with the natural promoter. Expression of the pilus antigen was found to be under control of the tryptophan promoter. Plasmid instability was encountered, however, in cells bearing pKO-TrpK99 when the trp promoter was derepressed. Introduction of the aminoglycoside 3'-phosphotransferase gene of transposable element Tn5 into pKO-TrpK99 to generate pKON-TrpK99 effectively stabilized the plasmid in cells grown under identical conditions in medium containing kanamycin. |

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.
