CGSC Strain#: 4353
Strain Designation: KL321      Source of Strain: M.C. Cappello
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: secA209(aziR), pro-48, lacZ118(Oc), lacI22, λ^-, trpA9605(Am), his-85(Am), gyrA19(NalR), recB21, rpsL171(strR), metE90, trpR55
Strain Comments:

• pro-48-- is probably in proB^-.
• lacZ118(Oc)-- is the lacZ allele originating in Paris strain Hfr 3000 U118. It is an ochre mutation.
• trpA9605(Am)-- is an amber mutation. It is suppressed by supD32.
• his-85(Am)-- is an amber mutation. It is suppressed by supD32.
• metE90-- is probably metE70.
• trpR55-- is trpR2 of Yanofsky. It is a frameshift mutation. Trp levels are indistinguishable from those in trpR deletions or amber mutations (no functional repressor).
• his-85(Am) was formerly called his-29
• lacI22 was formerly called lac_i3^-
• lacI22 was formerly called lacI3
• secA209(aziR) was formerly called azi-9
• Am = amber(UAG) mutation
• aziR = azide resistance
• NalR = Nalidix.acidResist.
• Oc = ochre(UAA) mutation
• strR = streptomycin resist.
