CC-216 er-u-11 mt+

$30.00

From Ruth Sager, Hunter College, April 1974

Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (erythromycin)

Like most of Sager’s strains, CC-216 grows on nitrate as sole N source . This property is in contrast to most strains from the Ebersold/Levine background, which carry the nit1 and nit2 mutations.

er-u-11 is a C-> G base change in the 23S rRNA at the position equivalent to E. coli 2611. This is the same nucleotide that is mutated to T in er-u-1a.
