CGSC Strain#: 8122
Strain Designation: KL2692      Source of Strain: E.J. Murgola
Sex: F' Episome/Plasmid: F596-16
   Plasmid Markers/Mutations: colI+, colV+, colB+, trpA235(Oc,UAA234)
   Plasmid Comment: This episome contains genes for colicins V and B and the tonB to cysB region of the chromosome that includes the trp operon as well as the suppressible trpA mutation.
Chromosomal Markers: λ^-, Δ(tonB-trp), IN(rrnD-rrnE)1, rph-1, glyV55
Strain Comments:

• The episome is derived from the Fredericq F-prime, with genes for colicins V and B and the tonB-cysB region of the chromosome, including the trp operon, with a suppressible trpA mutation.
• IN(rrnD-rrnE)1-- Inverts the region between rrnD (73.74 min) and rrnE (90.66 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)
• glyV55-- reads GGA/G
• Oc = ochre(UAA) mutation
• UAA234 = basepr.mut. of trpA234(UGA234)
