| Abstract | Cardiolipin (CL) is an anionic tetraacylphospholipid found in mammalian tissues, inner membrane of mitochondria and in the cytoplasmic membrane of Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. Lipid A is the principal structural component responsible for the range of biological activities of lipopolysaccharides. Here we report a MALDI-MS-based method for the sensitive simultaneous analysis of CL and lipid A from Helicobacter pylori cells. The sensitivity was demonstrated by the analysis of CL and lipid A from a single bacterial colony of in vitro grown H. pylori strain NCTC 11637 (ATCC 43504). We then characterized the CL and lipid A structures in H. pylori cells grown under three different conditions, on agar-horse blood plates, in liquid culture and ex vivo. The results revealed the presence of high amounts of myristic (C14:0) and 19-carbon cyclopropane (C19:0cyc) fatty acids. Alterations in CL structure were observed in H. pylori cells cultivated on plates as compared with the bacteria grown in broth culture. Furthermore, significant changes in lipid A acylation pattern were detected in H. pylori cells during formation of coccoids. In contrast, structural analysis of CL from ex vivo H. pylori cells recovered from the stomachs of infected Mongolian gerbils demonstrated only minor changes in acyl chain combination. This is the first report of simultaneous analysis of CL and lipid A from ex vivo cells of H. pylori. |

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.
