| Abstract | Kashket, E. R. (Harvard Medical School, Boston, Mass.) and A. F. Brodie. Effects of near-ultraviolet irradiation on growth and oxidative metabolism of bacteria. J. Bacteriol. 83:1094–1100. 1962.—The effects of irradiation with near-ultraviolet light (360 mμ) have been studied with Escherichia coli W and a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The growth of the aerobe P. aeruginosa was inhibited by light on minimal salts media containing succinate, glutamate, or glucose as sole carbon sources. The facultative anaerobe E. coli was capable of growth under irradiation on a fermentable carbon source, such as glucose, but with a smaller yield of cells on limiting substrate, as compared to unirradiated control cultures. The rate of growth of aerobic irradiated cells on glucose was equal to that of anaerobic growth on that carbon source, and there was a greater accumulation of end products of glucose catabolism aerobically in the light as compared to dark controls. When irradiated in media containing carbon sources from which energy was obtainable only by oxidative phosphorylation, such as succinate or malate, E. coli cells were still capable of oxidizing these substrates but could not grow on them. This bacteriostatic effect of 360-mμ light could be reversed by the addition of glucose, which resulted in the growth of irradiated cells. Visible (400 to 600 mμ) light was found to have no effect. Irradiated E. coli cells in succinate were found to contain no naphtho- or benzoquinones, compounds which are more sensitive to 360-mμ irradiation than other components of the respiratory chain. It is suggested that the effect of 360-mμ light on whole cells is the destruction of light-sensitive components, such as the benzoquinone Q8 and naphthoquinone K2C45 of E. coli W, which are essential for obtaining energy from oxidative metabolism. |

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.
