| Abstract | The extremely thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus is a model organism for structural biology and systems biology, and the so-called “Structural and Functional Whole-Cell Project for T. thermophilus HB8” is in progress. The released genomic sequence of the strain HB8 is composed of chromosome, pTT27 megaplasmid, and pTT8 plasmid. In this paper, however, a third plasmid was demonstrated and its sequence was determined. Although this plasmid pVV8 had been reported before, limited information and an unfortunate dropout in the substrain, whose genomic sequence was determined, would have prevented the plasmid from coming to public attention. The intrinsic circular plasmid, which was estimated to be six to ten copies in a cell, is 81151 bp and its G + C content is 68%. Among the identified 91 ORFs, a single gene has been experimentally analyzed before and is known as xylose isomerase. The phnCDEGHIJKLMX operon related to phosphonate metabolism, alkaline phosphatase, putative transcriptional regulators, several sets of toxin–antitoxin system, and transposase-like ORFs are also encoded on the pVV8 plasmid. Although association with cell aggregation was the one phenotypic characteristic of the plasmid that had been reported, it was never confirmed. Comparison of T. thermophilus HB8 strains suggests that the pVV8 is nonessential for growth. |

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.
