CC-943 ery2b mt+
$30.00
From Maureen Hanson, University of Virginia, February 1980
Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (erythromycin)
The ery2b allele was obtained in Bogorad’s laboratory after mutagenesis of a 137c wild type strain with ethyl methanesulfonate.
The ery2 mutants as a group are resistant to 100 micrograms/ml erythromycin on minimal medium, and are cold-sensitive. Please see CC-1711 for more information on the ERY2 locus.
