| Abstract | We report the discovery of a Bradyrhizobium japonicum gene cluster (fixNOQP) in which mutations resulted in defective soybean root-nodule bacteroid development and symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The predicted, DNA-derived protein sequences suggested that FixN is a heme b and copper-binding oxidase subunit, FixO a monoheme cytochrome c, FixQ a polypeptide of 54 amino acids, and FixP a diheme cytochrome c and that they are all membrane-bound. The isolation and analysis of membrane proteins from B. japonicum wild-type and mutant cells revealed two c-type cytochromes of 28 and 32 kDa as the likely products of the fixO and fixP genes and showed that both were synthesized only under oxygen-limited growth conditions. Furthermore, fixN insertion and fixNO deletion mutants grown microaerobically or anaerobically (with nitrate) exhibited a strong decrease in whole-cell oxidase activity as compared with the wild type. The data suggest that the fixNOQP gene products are induced at low oxygen concentrations and constitute a member of the bacterial heme/copper cytochrome oxidase superfamily. The described features are compatible with the postulate that this oxidase complex is specifically required to support bacterial respiration in endosymbiosis. |

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.
