| Abstract | Effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on nitrification activities of free and entrapped nitrifying activated sludge (NAS) were investigated using a respirometric assay. Initial concentrations of ammonia and AgNPs, and entrapment materials and matrix sizes were the variables. Scanning and transmission electron microscopic analyses of the microbial cells and entrapment matrices were also performed. Results showed that AgNPs (0.05–5.00 mg/L) decreased nitrification activity down to only 2 % compared to the control (free NAS without AgNP exposure). Calcium alginate and polyvinyl alcohol-entrapped cells could mitigate inhibition of nitrification activity up to 100 % (no inhibition observed) and 88 % compared to the controls (entrapped NAS without AgNP exposure), respectively. Cells entrapped in a larger matrix size (both with and without AgNP exposure) performed nitrification better. Silver nanoparticles caused damages to cell membrane and cytoplasm, which likely led to a decrease of nitrification activity. The entrapment matrices successfully reduced the adverse effects of AgNPs on nitrification activity. |

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.
