CGSC Strain#: 12415
Strain Designation: STL14078      Source of Strain: S.T. Lovett
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: lacZ4810, mhpC281::Tn10, λ^-, ΔmutS738::kan, rph-1
Strain Comments:

• lacZ4810-- is a 2 basepair substitution (GAA to GCG) in the Glu-461 codon resulting in an Ala codon.
• 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)
• lacZ4810 was formerly called lacZ(C1385A)
• mhpC281::Tn10 was formerly called zah281::Tn10
• = tetracycline resistant
• = kanamycin resistant
