CGSC Strain#: 4882
Strain Designation: DF51      Source of Strain: D. Fraenkel
Other Designations: MM6
Sex: Hfr    Point of Origin#: 1   Map Position: 96.80   Direction of Marker Transfer: Clockwise
Chromosomal Markers: lacI22, dctB3, λ^-, e14-, ptsI2, relA1, spoT1, thiE1
Strain Comments:

• e14--- : Loss of the e14 element makes the strain McrA^-.
• ptsI2-- results in strain phenotype of no growth on mannitol or glucose, good growth on glycerol plus cAMP.
• spoT1-- In addition to the 6bp insertion, there is a C to T transition resulting in an H257Y substitution.
• lacI22 was formerly called lac_i3^-
• lacI22 was formerly called lacI3
• thiE1 was formerly called thi-1
