| Abstract | A bacterial strain that produces a cold-adapted esterase was isolated from tidal flats and identified as Shewanella sp. Ke75. In the present study, the corresponding gene was cloned using the shotgun method. The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence (957 bp) corresponded to a protein of 318 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular weight of 34875 Da. The esterase showed 68 and 57% identities with the putative esterases of Shewanella amazonensis SB2B and Colwellia psychrerythraea 34H, respectively. The esterase contained a putative leader sequence, as well as the conserved catalytic triad (Ser, His, Asp), consensus pentapeptide GXSXG, and oxyanion hole sequence (HG). The protein Ke75 was produced in both soluble and insoluble forms when Escherichia coli cells harboring the gene were cultured at 30°C. The enzyme showed specificity for C4 (butyrate) as a substrate, with little activity toward the other p-nitrophenyl esters tested. The optimum pH and temperature for enzyme activity were pH 9.0 and 30°C, respectively. Relative activity remained up to 60% even at 5°C with an activation energy of 6.29 kcal/mol, which indicated that it was a cold-adapted enzyme. Enzyme activity was enhanced in the presence of Mn$^{2+}$ ions, but inhibited by Cd$^{2+}$, Cu$^{2+}$, Hg$^{2+}$, and Zn$^{2+}$ ions. |

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.
