CGSC Strain#: 5873
Strain Designation: Zipser 485      Source of Strain: D. Zipser
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: lacZ521(UGA), λ^-, e14-, trpA49(Am), relA1, rpsL150(strR)
Strain Comments:

• lacZ521(UGA)-- is an UGA mutation in region 13 of the lacZ gene, as described by Zipser et al. 1970.
• e14--- : Loss of the e14 element makes the strain McrA^-.
• trpA49(Am)-- is the amber mutation formerly called trp^-_8am by Brenner.
• rpsL150(strR)-- T to C transition mutation resulting in a K43R amino acid substitution.
• Am = amber(UAG) mutation
• strR = streptomycin resist.
• UGA = opal(UGA) mutation
