CGSC Strain#: 7408
Strain Designation: CAG18467      Source of Strain: C.A. Gross
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: λ^-, zfd-1::Tn10, rph-1
Strain Comments:

• zfd-1::Tn10-- cotransduces 80% with dsdA, 35% with fadL and 20% with aroC. PCR analysis places the insertion between orf b2374 and orf b2375, at nucleotide 2,491,451 (53.7 min.)
• rph-1-- is a 1 bp deletion that results in frameshift over last 15 codons and has polar effect on pyrE leading to suboptimal pyrimidine levels on minimal medium.(Jensen 1993 JBact.175:3401)
• = tetracycline resistant
