Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: fadR201, hns-206, adhEp-81, oppC506::Tn10, cysB9999, purC50, tyrA2, thiE1
Strain Comments:

• adhEp-81-- is an operator or promoter mutation. It results in 60-fold overproduction of ADH on succinate plus acetate medium and allows growth on EtOH as sole C source.
• oppC506::Tn10-- cotransduces 83% with tyrT and 43% with trpA. It was shown to be within the oppC locus by Nichols et al. (1998).
• adhEp-81 was formerly called adhC81
• hns-206 was formerly called bglY206
• oppC506::Tn10 was formerly called zci-506::Tn10
• thiE1 was formerly called thi-1
