CGSC Strain#: 7473
Strain Designation: CAG18618      Source of Strain: C.A. Gross
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: λ^-, rph-1, thiC3178::Tn10kan
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)
• thiC3178::Tn10kan-- : derived from thi-39::Tn10 of NK5139 and CAG18500, which was shown by PCR (Nichols et al. 1998) to be within thiC, at nucleotide 4,192,143 (minute 90.363).
• = kanamycin resistant
