CGSC Strain#: 7008
Strain Designation: RZ76      Source of Strain: C.R.H. Raetz
Sex: Hfr    Point of Origin#: 1   Map Position: 96.80   Direction of Marker Transfer: Clockwise
Chromosomal Markers: λ^-, relA1, spoT1, pgi-2, dgkA6
Strain Comments:

• spoT1-- In addition to the 6bp insertion, there is a C to T transition resulting in an H257Y substitution.
• pgi-2-- : pgi mutants utilize glucose by the hexose monoP shunt; strains with this allele grew on glucose at 1/3 parental rate. Slow growth on Gal,Mal,Lac;normal on Fru and gluconate.
