CGSC Strain#: 6162
Strain Designation: DC80      Source of Strain: D.P. Clark
Sex: F+ Chromosomal Markers: aceF10, fadR200, tyrT58(AS), adhE80, mel-1
Strain Comments:

• adhE80-- permits ethanol to replace the acetate requirement caused by the aceF mutation, but does not allow growth on EtOH as sole carbon source(in contrast to adhE81). ADH is overproduced 20-fold.
• tyrT58(AS) was formerly called supF58
• AS = amber(UAG) suppressor
