CGSC Strain#: 12410
Strain Designation: STL13781      Source of Strain: S.T. Lovett
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: lacZ4819, mhpC281::Tn10, λ^-, ΔmutS738::kan, rph-1
Strain Comments:

• lacZ4819-- is a compound allele replacing TTCCG--GCACCAGAA with TTCCGCGGCACCGGAA starting at base 191 in the lacZ sequence. This results in a frameshift mutation and the formation of a quasipalendrome.
• mhpC281::Tn10-- cotransduces 80% with lac.
• ΔmutS738::kan-- The primers used to make this knockout were AAAAACCATCACACCCCATTTAATATCAGGGAACCGGACATAACCCCATGATTCCGGGGATCCGTCGACC and CGATAGCAAAAGACTATCGGGAATTGTTATTACACCAGGCTCTTCAAGCGTGTAGGCTGGAGCTGCTTCG the bolded sequence matches the pKD13 template
• rph-1-- is a 1 bp deletion that results in frameshift over last 15 codons and has polar effect on pyrE leading to suboptimal pyrimidine levels on minimal medium.(Jensen 1993 JBact.175:3401)
• lacZ4819 was formerly called lacZ(QP3)
• mhpC281::Tn10 was formerly called zah281::Tn10
• = tetracycline resistant
• = kanamycin resistant
