rpsL150(strR),
spoT1Strain Comments: - lacY328(Am)-- lacY328 is an amber mutation.
- e14--- : Loss of the e14 element makes the strain McrA-.
- rpsL150(strR)-- T to C transition mutation resulting in a K43R amino acid substitution.
- spoT1-- In addition to the 6bp insertion, there is a C to T transition resulting in an H257Y substitution.
- Am = amber(UAG) mutation
- strR = streptomycin resist.
