CGSC Strain#: 12468
Strain Designation: N4560      Source of Strain: R.G. Lloyd
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: λ^-, rph-1, recG265(::cat)
Strain Comments:

• 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)
• = chloramphenicol resistant
• cat = chloramphenicol acetyl transferase
