| Abstract | At low pH (6.6) and under conditions of iron limitation, Neisseria meningitidis group B (strain SD1C) exhibited an atypical outer membrane protein profile and an increased relative virulence for the mouse. Cells grown in a buffered medium were effectively deprived of iron by the addition of ethylenediamine-diorthohydroxyphenylacetate. The pH of the medium selected for characteristic colonial morphologies: type M3 predominated at pH 6.6, and type M5 predominated at pH 7.7. A mixed population of M1, M3, and M5 colonies was observed at pH 7.2. Isolated outer membrane proteins were analyzed by sodium dodecyl 99 99 sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and surface exposed proteins were labeled by the [125I]lactoperoxidase method and subsequently identified by autoradiography. Cells grown at pH 6.6 elaborated a major outer membrane protein (protein III; molecular weight, 69,000), which was also present in the outer membrane of iron-limited cells grown at pH 7.2. At pH 7.2 in an iron-sufficient medium, protein III was present only in small quantities in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel was present only in small quantities in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels. A study of the relative virulence (50% lethal dose) of the meningococcus for C57/BL mice revealed that iron-limited cells grown at low pH had an increased relative virulence 1,200-fold (50% lethal dose, 4.0 CFU) greater than that of cells grown in the same medium but at pH 7.2 and with sufficient iron. These studies indicate that pH and iron can be important factors in the determination of meningococcal virulence. |

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.
