Strain Comments:

• hisG1-- This mutation has been reported as either a frameshift or a 36 nt deletion
• thyA3-- 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.
