- Comments:
- 1.It has not been possible to determine the exact derivation of this strain. The original argA- ancestor was either W3421 or W3422.
- 2.The strain is an arg bradytroph. The strain may still carry the original argA mutation (which was either argA21 or argA22) in addition to the mutation argA42,
- 3.which rendered it a bradytroph. It grows very slowly and stops at 4 x 108 cells/ml. It must be mated when growing exponentially at around 108/ml. It does not grow well on minimal plus
- 4.ARG plus ILV. We have received a report that it is helped by LYS plus a mixture of vitamins.
