CGSC Strain#: 4203
Strain Designation: KL162      Source of Strain: M.C. Cappello
Sex: Hfr    Point of Origin#: 45   Map Position: 65.00   Direction of Marker Transfer: Counterclockwise
Chromosomal Markers: λ^-, e14-, recA1, relA1, thyA25, spoT1, thiE1, deoB13
Strain Comments:

• e14--- : Loss of the e14 element makes the strain McrA^-.
• recA1-- : Missense mutation, altered isoelectric point. Sequenced: G to A for Nuc. 720 (Gly 160 Asp).
• thyA25-- Strains with this marker must have their medium supplemented with thymine (25ug/ml). This is true even for rich medium such as LB. Otherwise thymine starvation can lead to thymineless death.
• spoT1-- In addition to the 6bp insertion, there is a C to T transition resulting in an H257Y substitution.
• thiE1 was formerly called thi-1
