| Abstract | High levels of genomic and allelic microvariation have been found in major marine planktonic microbial species, including the ubiquitous open ocean cyanobacterium, Prochlorococcus marinus. Crocosphaera watsonii is a unicellular cyanobacterium that has recently been shown to be important in oceanic N2 fixation and has been reported from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in both hemispheres, and the Arabian Sea. In direct contrast to the current observations of genomic variability in marine non-N2-fixing planktonic cyanobacteria, which can range up to >15% nucleotide sequence divergence, we discovered that the marine planktonic nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterial genus Crocosphaera has remarkably low genomic diversity, with <1% nucleotide sequence divergence in several genes among widely distributed populations and strains. The cultivated C. watsonii WH8501 genome sequence was virtually identical to DNA sequences of large metagenomic fragments cloned from the subtropical North Pacific Ocean with <1% sequence divergence even in intergenic regions. Thus, there appears to be multiple strategies for evolution, adaptation, and diversification in oceanic microbial populations. The C. watsonii genome contains multiple copies of several families of transposases that may be involved in maintaining genetic diversity through genome rearrangements. Although genomic diversity seems to be the rule in many, if not most, marine microbial lineages, different forces may control the evolution and diversification in low abundance microorganisms, such as the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. |

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.
