ampCp-1Strain Comments: - ampCp-1-- is a promoter mutation; AmpC+ strains carrying this allele produce about 10X the amount of beta lactamase found in wild-type strains. In absence of other amp alleles, use 10-15 ug/ml Amp.
- ampCp-1 was formerly called ampA1
- rfa-1 was formerly called lpsA1
- strR = streptomycin resist.
