| Abstract | Filamentous M13 phages act as components of materials toward various applications such as electronics, sensors, and biomedicine. To widen applicabilities of the phages, further development of methods for their utilization is required. Here, hybrid hydrogels composed of physically cross-linked gelatin and liquid-crystalline M13 phages are described. Mixing of the phages into gelatin hydrogels promoted the hydrogelation, and strengthened the mechanical strength. Liquid crystal formation of the phages in the hydrogels was evidenced by polarized optical microscopy observation. Degradation of the hydrogels by collagenase, which hydrolyzes gelatin, was suppressed by mixing the phages. These observations showed that the gelatin molecules were segregated into the spaces between phage lamellar structures. Our results will open attractive opportunities for simple construction of virus-based hybrid soft materials. |

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.
