From William Inwood and Sydney Kustu, UC Berkeley, January 2005

This is the background strain of the methylammonium resistant mutants isolated in the Kustu lab (CC-4036 – CC-4052). This strain originated in Jean-David Rochaix’s lab, and is a 137c derivative selected for rapid growth on acetate in the dark. It carries the nit1 and nit2 mutations, and is unable to utilize nitrate.
