Andrew Wiseman, Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University

Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (erythromycin)

This is a mutant isolated by Andrew Wiseman in the Boynton-Gillham laboratory at Duke. The base pair change is an A>G in the chloroplast 23S rRNA at the position equivalent to E. coli 2058. In contrast to er-u-37, which is a mutation in the adjacent nucleotide in the 23S rDNA, er-u-AW-17 is cross-resistant to lincomycin and clindamycin.
