Strain Comments:

• This strain must be grown at a temperature below 33 degrees C.
• lacZ608(Am)-- is an amber mutation (Newton et al. 1965 J. Mol. Biol. 14:290), aka lacZ^-NG608 by Zinder, in segment 10 of the lacZ gene (Zipser et al. 1970).
• zbj-927::Tn10-- cotransduces ~72% with cmlA and ~ 71% with poxB.
• secA214(aziR) was formerly called azi-14
• secA214(aziR) was formerly called secA14
• thiE1 was formerly called thi-1
• = strep-resistant
• = tetracycline resistant
• Am = amber(UAG) mutation
• aziR = azide resistance
• ts = Temperature Sensitive
