CGSC Strain#: 6738
Strain Designation: JGC127      Source of Strain: A. Kornberg
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: leuB6(Am), fhuA2::IS2, lacY1, glnX44(AS), gal-6, λ^-, cpxB11, hisG1, rfbC1, thyA3, galP63, argG6, rpsL104, malT1(λ^R), zhh-922::Tn10, dnaM710(ts), xyl-7, mtlA2, metB1, deoC5
Strain Comments:

• leuB6(Am)-- Suppressed by serU suppressor (supH)
• glnX44(AS)-- Mutation is a C to T transition at nucleotide 34 (3rd position of the anticodon)
• cpxB11-- was formerly called cpxB1.
• hisG1-- This mutation has been reported as either a frameshift or a 36 nt deletion
• thyA3-- Strains with this marker must have their medium supplemented with thymine (25ug/ml). This is true even for rich medium such as LB. Otherwise thymine starvation can lead to thymineless death.
• dnaM710(ts)-- is not a Dna^- mutation.
• zhh-922::Tn10-- cotransduces ca. 80% with dnaM710.
• fhuA2::IS2 was formerly called fhuA2
• glnX44(AS) was formerly called su⁺_II
• glnX44(AS) was formerly called supE44
• glnX44(AS) was formerly called glnV44
• rfbC1 was formerly called rfbD1
• xyl-7 was formerly called xylA7
• = strep-resistant
• = tetracycline resistant
• ::IS2 = Insertion of IS2
• Am = amber(UAG) mutation
• AS = amber(UAG) suppressor
• LamR = Lambda-resistant
• ts = Temperature Sensitive
