| Abstract | In this study, the polyene antibiotic amphotericin B was used to induce changes in permeability and viability of the eucaryotic microorganism Dictyostelium discoideum. The results show that as the cells progress from the growth phase through stationary phase to eventual aggregation, they become increasingly resistant to both permeability changes and lysis. Plasma membranes were prepared from cells harvested at exponential growth, stationary phase, and the aggregation-competent stage, and both the neutral lipid and phospholipid content were determined. An increase in the neutral lipid and a decrease in the phospholipid were observed as the cells progressed from growth into aggregation, with the overall result that the phospholipid-sterol ratio decreased during this period. The extent of amphotericin B binding by cells from the different stages was also determined. Aggregation cells exhibited a small but significant increase in binding compared to cells from either of the other two stages. The permeability changes produced by the drug were measured as a function of temperature. Exponentially growing cells showed a marked temperature dependence for the drug effect, whereas aggregating cells did not. Rates of inactivation by the drug were also determined over a range of temperatures. With exponentially growing cells, the rate of inactivation was temperature dependent, whereas with aggregating cells it was not. Finally, drug binding for both growing and aggregating cells was temperature dependent. Thus, no binding was observed for cells of either type at 4°C. This finding suggests that the differences in the temperature dependence of the permeability changes and inactivation between the cells involve parameters other than drug binding. |

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.
