CGSC Strain#: 6436
Strain Designation: SA1500      Source of Strain: S. Adhya
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: lon-100(del?), λ^-, his-87, relA1, rpsL181(strR), spoT1, thiE1
Strain Comments:

• lon-100(del?)-- : originally thought to be a deletion of the structural gene,but Maurizi ref.reports production of small amt.of Lon protein and restriction results suggest promoter insert.or del.
• spoT1-- In addition to the 6bp insertion, there is a C to T transition resulting in an H257Y substitution.
• lon-100(del?) was formerly called lon-100(del)
• thiE1 was formerly called thi-1
• del? = deletion or insertion
• strR = streptomycin resist.
