CC-5135 trk2-2 mt+ [KDP2]
$30.00
From David Polley, Wabash College, July 2015
Phenotype: requires high potassium concentration
This strain requires potassium concentrations greater than 0.1mM for growth. Use agarose solidified medium when testing for phenotype on plate cultures. Wild-type growth rates require 1mM K. Exhibits altered transport kinetics.
This mutant was UV-induced by Polley and Doctor in a strain equivalent to CC-620 (137c background).
