spoT1Strain Comments: - galK2(Oc)-- is a GAA(glu) to TAA(ochre) mutation, residue 134. Oller et al.1993. Apparently non-suppressible, since all revertants found were at the ochre site.
- thyA11-- Strains with this marker must have their medium supplemented with thymine (25ug/ml). This is true even for rich medium such as LB. Otherwise thymine starvation can lead to thymineless death.
- spoT1-- In addition to the 6bp insertion, there is a C to T transition resulting in an H257Y substitution.
- fbaA2(ts) was formerly called fda-2
- galK2(Oc) was formerly called gal2
- Oc = ochre(UAA) mutation
- T2R = T2 Resistant
- ts = Temperature Sensitive
