CC-2842 nit2-2 ac17 sr1 mt-

$30.00

From Rogene Schnell, University of Minnesota, October 1992

Phenotype: requires acetate; antibiotic resistant (streptomycin)

This is the strain referred to by Schnell and Lefebvre as A55-a5. nit2-2 is a new spontaneous mutation resulting from a Gulliver transposon insertion in strain A55 (ac17 sr1). Schnell noted in her submission that the mutation is unstable but that she had always been able to recover nit- colonies from this strain.
