CC-435 ac-u-b-1-10 spr-u-1-27-3 mt+

$30.00

Hurley Shepherd in Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University

Phenotype: requires acetate; antibiotic resistant (spectinomycin)

From a cross of the original ac-u-b-1-10 mutant (CC-366, no longer in the collection) to an spr-u-1-27-3 strain derived from the precursor of CC-104.

The ac-u-b-1-10 mutant is deficient in ATP synthase activity, but the mutational lesion has not been identified. Chloroplast DNA appears normal when digested with BamHI or EcoRI.

The spr-u-1-27-3 mutation confers spectinomycin resistance. See CC-104 for additional information.
