| Abstract | We report the isolation of nitrogen fixing, phytohormone producing bacteria from sugarcane and their beneficial effects on the growth of micropropagated sugarcane plantlets. Detection of the nitrogen fixing bacteria by ARA-based MPN (acetylene reduction assay-based most probable number) method indicated the presence of up to 10$^{6}$ bacteria per gram dry weight of stem and 10$^{7}$ bacteria per gram dry weight of root of field-grown sugarcane. Two nitrogen fixing bacterial isolates were obtained from stem (SC11, SC20) and two from the roots (SR12, SR13) of field-grown plants. These isolates were identified as Enterobacter sp. strains on the basis of their morphological characteristics and biochemical tests. The isolate SC20 was further characterized by 16S rRNA sequence analysis, which showed high sequence similarity to the sequence of Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella oxytoca. All the isolates produced the phytohormone indoleacetic acid (IAA) in pure culture and this IAA production was enhanced in growth medium containing tryptophan. The bacterial isolates were used to inoculate micro-propagated sugarcane in vitro where maximum increase in the root and shoot weight over control was observed in the plantlets inoculated with strain SC20. By using the$^{15}$N isotope dilution technique, maximum nitrogen fixation contribution (28% of total plant nitrogen) was detected in plantlets inoculated with isolate SC20. |

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.
