Strain - REL1206Strain REL1206Strain REL1206
- CGSC#: 12354
- Strain Designation
- Sex(Hfr,F+,F-,or F'): F-
- 6 Mutations:
- Comments:
- Not a K-12 strain. This is an E. coli B derivative.
- This is not a descendant of E. coli Bc251 as originally thought. See Daegelen et al. reference for derivation. The malB region was transduced in from E. coli K-12 strain W3110.
- This strain has been evolved for 2000 generations in Glucose minimal medium
