| Abstract | Enterococcus hirae grow well under anaerobic conditions at alkaline pH (pH 8.0) producing acids by glucose fermentation. Bacterial growth was shown to be accompanied by decrease of redox potential from positive values (~+35 mV) to negative ones (~−220 mV). An oxidizer copper (II) ions (Cu$^{2+}$) affected bacterial growth in a concentration-dependent manner (within the range of 0.05 mM to 1 mM) increasing lag phase duration and decreasing specific growth rate. These effects were observed with the wild-type strain ATCC9790 and the atpD mutant strain MS116 (with absent β subunit of F$_{1}$ of the F$_{o}$F$_{1}$ ATPase) both. Also ATPase activity and proton–potassium ions exchange were assessed with and without N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), inhibitor of the F$_{o}$F$_{1}$ ATPase. In both cases (DCCD ±), even low Cu$^{2+}$ concentrations had noticeable effect on ATPase activity, but with less visible concentration-dependent manner. Changes in the number of accessible SH-groups were observed with E. hirae ATCC9790 and MS116 membrane vesicles. In both strains Cu$^{2+}$ markedly decreased the number of SH-groups in the presence of K$^{+}$ ions. The addition of ATP increased the amount of accessible SH-groups in ATCC9790 and decreased this number in MS116; Cu$^{2+}$ blocked ATP-installed increase in SH-groups number in ATCC9790. H$^{+}$–K$^{+}$-exchange of bacteria was markedly inhibited by Cu$^{2+}$, but stronger effects were detected together with DCCD. Moreover, discrimination between Cu$^{2+}$ and other bivalent cation—Ni$^{2+}$ was shown. It is suggested that Cu$^{2+}$ ions inhibit E. hirae cell growth by direct affect on the F$_{o}$F$_{1}$ ATPase leading to conformational changes in this protein complex and decrease in its 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.
