Chromosomal Markers: fhuA24,
bio-1(Unst)
,
spoT1,
metB1,
creC510Strain Comments: - lyophil opened 8/31/05
- bio-1(Unst)-- : This marker apparently reverts at high frequency
- spoT1-- In addition to the 6bp insertion, there is a C to T transition resulting in an H257Y substitution.
- creC510-- The constitutive phenotype is due to an R77P amino acid substitution
- creC510 was formerly called phoM510
- Const = constitutive
- Unst = unstable
