Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: Δ(gpt-lac)5, tsx-35, λ^-, sulA3, e14-, Rac-0, rfbC1, mgl-51, recA441(ts), relA1, rpsL31(strR), kdgK51, xylA5, mtl-1, spoT1, thiE1, creC510
Strain Comments:

• Δ(gpt-lac)5-- is the deletion Δ( pro-lac)_X111 of Jacob and originated in the strain Hfr 3000 X111.
• e14--- : Loss of the e14 element makes the strain McrA^-.
• recA441(ts)-- formerly tif-1 (temp.-induced filamentation). Not a Rec^- phenotype, "constitutive protease activity" not requiring ss-DNA binding at hi temp.
• spoT1-- In addition to the 6bp insertion, there is a C to T transition resulting in an H257Y substitution.
• creC510-- The constitutive phenotype is due to an R77P amino acid substitution
• creC510 was formerly called phoM510
• rfbC1 was formerly called rfbD1
• thiE1 was formerly called thi-1
• Const = constitutive
• strR = streptomycin resist.
• ts = Temperature Sensitive
