CGSC Strain#: 7237
Strain Designation: TA3514      Source of Strain: G.F.-L. Ames
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: λ^-, Δ(his-gnd)861, pta-200, hisJo-701
Strain Comments:

• These strains should be stored frozen because of the pta mutation. (G.F-L.Ames)
• hisJo-701-- is a regulatory region for the histidine utilization cluster, hisJ,P,M. Since physical mapping now places the transcr. order his J,M,P, it is presumably in hisJ region.
• Δ(his-gnd)861 was formerly called his-461
• hisJo-701 was formerly called dhuA1
