| Abstract | In this study we have determined the effect of the polyene antibiotic amphotericin B on the growth of the eukaryotic microorganism Dictyostelium discoideum. These experiments show that the addition of drug to axenically growing cultures results in an inhibition of growth and cell division. However, with continued incubation, growth is resumed. To determine if the inhibitory effect was due to cell death, the effect of the drug on cell viability was measured. The results showed 10 to 20 times more drug was required to kill cells than to inhibit growth. Since previous studies had indicated that drugs of this type modified cellular permeability, the effect of this drug on osmotic stability of these cells was determined. Results reported in this study show that amphotericin B treatment modifies the cell surface, producing osmotically unstable cells, and that this modification occurs before the onset of cell death and within the same concentration range as used to bring about the inhibition of growth and division. Based on these data it is suggested that the modification in cellular permeability produced by the drug results in the inhibition of growth. This study also reports the results of experiments on the fate of the membrane-damaged cells. These experiments, using radioactive thiourea, showed the restoration of cellular permeability barrier and suggested that the resumption of cell growth occurs after the completion of the repair process. |

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.
