CGSC Strain#: 6576
Strain Designation: HMS174      Source of Strain: J.W. Campbell
Sex: F- Chromosomal Markers: λ^-, recA1, IN(rrnD-rrnE)1, rph-1, rpoB331(rifR), hsdR19
Strain Comments:

• recA1-- : Missense mutation, altered isoelectric point. Sequenced: G to A for Nuc. 720 (Gly 160 Asp).
• 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)
• rifR = rifamycin resistance
