CGSC Strain#: 7488
Strain Designation: CAG18430      Source of Strain: C.A. Gross
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: λ^-, rph-1, opgB202::Tn10
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)
• opgB202::Tn10-- cotransduces 34% with serB and 13% with thr and ca. 50% with hsd. Shown by PCR analysis (Nichols et al.) to be within opgB at nucleotide 4,595,002 (99.0 min.).
• opgB202::Tn10 was formerly called
• = tetracycline resistant
