CGSC Strain#: 7439
Strain Designation: CAG18574      Source of Strain: C.A. Gross
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: λ^-, aer-3159::Tn10kan, rph-1
Strain Comments:

• aer-3159::Tn10kan-- : derived from aer-3075::Tn10, shown by PCR (Nichols et al.1998) to be at nucleotide 3,215,934 (69.321 in.)
• rph-1-- is a 1 bp deletion that results in frameshift over last 15 codons and has polar effect on pyrE leading to suboptimal pyrimidine levels on minimal medium.(Jensen 1993 JBact.175:3401)
• aer-3159::Tn10kan was formerly called zgi-3159::Tn10kan
• aer-3159::Tn10kan was formerly called zgj-3159::Tn10kan
• = kanamycin resistant
