| Abstract | We report the genetic transformation of the planktonic diatoms Pseudo-nitzschia arenysensis and Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata, members of the widely distributed and ecologically important genus Pseudo-nitzschia. P. arenysensis and P. multistriata present the classical size reduction/restitution life cycle and can reproduce sexually. Genetic transformation was achieved with the biolistic method, using the H4 gene promoter from P. multistriata to drive expression of exogenous genes. The transformation was first optimized introducing the Sh ble gene to confer resistance to the antibiotic zeocin. Integration of the transgene was confirmed by PCR and Southern blot analyses. Subsequently, we simultaneously transformed in P. arenysensis two plasmids, one encoding the β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene together with the plasmid carrying the Sh ble resistance gene, demonstrating the possibility of co-transformation. By transforming a gene encoding a fusion between the histone H4 and the green fluorescent protein (GFP), we demonstrated that fluorescent tagging is possible and that studies for protein localization are feasible. Importantly, we crossed P. arenysensis- and P. multistriata-transformed strains with a wild-type strain of opposite mating type and demonstrated that the transgene can be inherited in the F1 generation. The possibility to transform two diatom species for which genetic crosses are possible opens the way to a number of new approaches, including classical loss of function screens and the possibility to obtain different combinations of double transformants. |

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.
