| Abstract | A spontaneous mutant of Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus resistant to the Na(+)/H(+) antiporter inhibitor harmaline was isolated. The Na(+)/H(+) exchange activity in the mutant cells was remarkably decreased in comparison with wild-type cells. Na(+)/H(+) antiport activity of wild-type cells grown in the high Na(+) concentration (125 mmol/l) was significantly increased as compared to the cells grown under low Na(+) concentration (6.25 mmol/l) conditions. In contrast, harmaline resistant mutant showed almost the same Na(+)/H(+) antiport activity under both these conditions. While harmaline profoundly inhibited methanogenesis in the wild-type, increased methanogenesis was observed both in the presence and absence of harmaline in the mutant strain. ATP synthesis driven by methanogenic electron transport was significantly enhanced in the mutant cells. The experimental data revealed the differential expression of A flavoprotein and molybdenum-containing formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase 1 subunit C in harmaline-resistant mutant. The overexpression of these proteins might contribute to harmaline resistance. Taken together the results indicate that harmaline resistance in this mutant has arisen as a consequence of mutation(s) in antiporter gene(s) or protein(s) linked to antiporter activity. Moreover this work provides the evidence that Na(+)/H(+) exchanger deficiency in harmaline-resistant mutant can induce overexpression of several proteins participating in methanogenesis. |

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.
