creC510Strain Comments: - This strain inexplicably will not grow on minimal medium.
- phoA5(Am)-- is Garen's phoAH12.
- spoT1-- In addition to the 6bp insertion, there is a C to T transition resulting in an H257Y substitution.
- phoT-35-- is a phoS or phoT mutation.
- rrnB-2-- : loss of spacer loop sequence
- creC510-- The constitutive phenotype is due to an R77P amino acid substitution
- creC510 was formerly called phoM510
- tyrT34(AS) was formerly called supF34
- tyrT34(AS) was formerly called Su3+
- Am = amber(UAG) mutation
- AS = amber(UAG) suppressor
- Const = constitutive
- T2R = T2 Resistant
