Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: Δ(araD-araB)567, ΔlacZ4787(::rrnB-3), ΔyajQ737::kan, λ^-, rph-1, Δ(rhaD-rhaB)568, hsdR514
Strain Comments:

• From the Keio Collection of single-gene knockouts (See Baba et al. ref. below) jointly developed by the Keio Univ. Inst. of Adv. Biosci. and the Nara Inst. of Sci. and Technol., Japan and Purdue Univ., USA.
• Δ(araD-araB)567-- This deletion extends from ~25 bp upstream of the araB start codon to ~8 bp into the beginning of the araD gene
• ΔlacZ4787(::rrnB-3)-- : 4 tandem copies of the rrnB transcriptional terminator inserted by gene replacement into the region extending from near the SacII site near the N-terminus of lacZ through the promoter.
• ΔyajQ737::kan-- The primers used to make this knockout were AAGCCATAATTGCCCTAAGGCACCGCATCCCAATACGGTAATTTTCATTGATTCCGGGGATCCGTCGACC and TGACATGAACAAAACGCACATAGTCGCGATTAATCGCGGAAGTTTTTGAATGTAGGCTGGAGCTGCTTCG the bolded sequence matches the pKD13 template
• 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)
• Δ(araD-araB)567 was formerly called Δ araBAD_AH33
• Δ(rhaD-rhaB)568 was formerly called Δ rhaBAD_LD78
• ΔlacZ4787(::rrnB-3) was formerly called ::rrnB-4
• ΔlacZ4787(::rrnB-3) was formerly called Δ lacZ_WJ16
• = kanamycin resistant
• ::rrnB-3 = 4 copies of rrnB inserted
