CGSC Strain#: 14235
Strain Designation: BA-002      Source of Strain: J.E. Wertz
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: lon-11, Δ(ompT-nfrA)885, Δ(galM-ybhJ)884, λDE3 [lacI, lacUV5-T7 gene 1, ind1, sam7, nin5], Δ46, ?ptsI845::FRT, [mal⁺]_K-12(λ^S), hsdS10
Strain Comments:

• This strain was derived from C43(DE3) by the addition of the ptsI marker from the Keio knockout strain JW2409-1
• lon-11-- is a mutation of an E. coli B gene caused by an IS186 insertion in the promoter. All derivatives of Witkin's B wildtype carry this lon mutation.
• Δ(ompT-nfrA)885-- This deletions actually spans from distal region of the DLP12 prophage to an Rhs element just downstream of nfrA in the E. coli B genome. Actual genes deleted are appY, ompT, envY, ybcH, and nfrA.
• Δ(galM-ybhJ)884-- Deletion from base 769,048 to 786,294 in the REL606 genome and includes the following genes: galMKTE, modFE, acrZ, modABC, ybhA, pgl, ybhD, ybhH, ybhI, and ybhJ
• λDE3 [lacI, lacUV5-T7 gene 1, ind1, sam7, nin5]-- Lambda DE3 has the phage T7 RNA polymerase under the control of the lacUV5 promoter inserted into the BamHI site of the Lambda cloning vector D69.
• Δ46-- : cured of defective P2-like prophage found in wildtype E.coli B.
• ?ptsI845::FRT-- This is the ?ptsI745::kan allele with the kan cassette removed leaving an FRT scar
• [mal⁺]_K-12(λ^S)-- The malK, lamB, malM region was transduced in from E. coli K-12.
• Δ(galM-ybhJ)884 was formerly called
• LamS = Lambda sensitive
