| Abstract | The phycobilisomes of the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6701, grown in white light, contain C-phycoerythrin, C-phycocyanin, and allophycocyanin in a molar ration of approximately 2:2:1, and in addition, polypeptides of 99, 46, 33.5, 31.5, 30.5, and 27 x 10(3) Daltons, as well as a trace of a approximately 9 x 10(3)-dalton component. Two nitrosoguanidine-induced mutants of this organism produce aberrant phycobilisomes. Crude cell extracts of these mutants, 6701-NTG25 and NTG31, contain phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, and allophycocyanin in a molar ration of 1:5:1:1 and 0.55:0.3:1.0, respectively. The phycobilisomes from both mutants lack the 33.5 x 10(3)-dalton polypeptide. Wile-type phycobilisomes consist of a core composed of an equilateral array of three cylindrical elements surrounded by six rods in a fanlike arrangement. The rods are made up of stacked disks, 11 nm in diameter and 6 nm thick. In phycobilisomes of mutant 6701-NTG25, numerous particles with fewer than six rods are seen. Mutant 6701-NTG31 produces incomplete structures that extend from triangular core particles, through cores with one or two attached rods, to cores with as many as five rods. The structure of the core appears unaltered throughout. The amount of phycocyanin (relative to allophycocyanin) appears to determine the number of rods per core. A common assembly form seen in 6701-NTG31 is the core with two rods attached at opposite sides. From observations of this form, it is concluded that the core elements are cylindrical, with a height of 14 nm and a diameter of 11 nm. No consistently recognizable structural details are evident within the core elements. |

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.
