Strain Comments:

• leuB6(Am)-- Suppressed by serU suppressor (supH)
• Δ(codB-lacI)3-- is a deletion of the entire lac operon, from the strain Hfr 3000 X74 of Jacob. Refs. on extent of deletion: Sung et al.1987,J.Bact.169:2639; Gerdes et al.2001
• Δ(codB-lacI)3-- Shown by Ferrandez et al. 1997 to extend to mhpD
• Δ(codB-lacI)3-- Shown by Durfee et al. to extend from codon 292 of yahG through mhpE
• Δ(ackA-hisP)862 was formerly called Δ(pta-hisP)201
• Δ(codB-lacI)3 was formerly called Δlac74
• Δ(codB-lacI)3 was formerly called Δ(lac)3
• Δ(codB-lacI)3 was formerly called Δ(yahG-mhpE)
• Δ(codB-lacI)3 was formerly called X74
• Δ(codB-lacI)3 was formerly called DE(lac)6
• thiE1 was formerly called thi-1
• = tetracycline resistant
• Am = amber(UAG) mutation
• strR = streptomycin resist.
