CGSC Strain#: 7527
Strain Designation: CAG12183gyrA⁺      Source of Strain: S. McAteer
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: λ^-, zfa-3145::Tn10kan, rph-1
Strain Comments:

• CAG12183 was found to be gyrA⁺ and S.McAteer constructed this gyrA⁺ strain from CAG12183.
• zfa-3145::Tn10kan-- is derived from zfa-723::Tn10, placed by PCR analysis in orf yfaL, nucleotide 2,341,772 (50.478 min.).
• 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)
• zfa-3145::Tn10kan was formerly called zei-3143::Tn10kan
• = kanamycin resistant
