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
