Strain Designation: RS5064     
Source of Strain: B. Konrad
Sex: F-
Chromosomal Markers: λ-,
trpA33,
IN(rrnD-rrnE)1,
polA480(ts,EX)
Strain Comments: - trpA33-- has two consecutive nucleotide substitutions (R.Milkman) and has not been known to revert (C.Yanofsky via R.Milkman).
- IN(rrnD-rrnE)1-- Inverts the region between rrnD (73.74 min) and rrnE (90.66 min)
- polA480(ts,EX)-- lowered levels of polymerase, thermolabile in vitro; low levels Exo. see Grindley and Kelley, MGG 143:311.
- polA480(ts,EX) was formerly called polAex1
- EX = exonuclease activity mutation
- ts = Temperature Sensitive
