CGSC Strain#: 5589
Strain Designation: 679-680     
Source of Strain: E.L. Tatum
Sex: F-
Chromosomal Markers: thr-1,
leuB6(Am)
Strain Comments: - Lederberg et al. reference is to F- character.
- Shown by C.Schnaitman (pers.comm.to BJB, 1992) to be Rha+, so does not carry rfbC1.
- leuB6(Am)-- Suppressed by serU suppressor (supH)
