CGSC Strain#: 7916
Strain Designation: ALS799      Source of Strain: E. Altman
Sex: F+ Chromosomal Markers: aceF10, fadR200, tyrT58(AS), adhE80, ppc-5::kan, mel-1
Strain Comments:

• adhE80-- permits ethanol to replace the acetate requirement caused by the aceF mutation, but does not allow growth on EtOH as sole carbon source(in contrast to adhE81). ADH is overproduced 20-fold.
• tyrT58(AS) was formerly called supF58
• = kanamycin resistant
• AS = amber(UAG) suppressor
