CC-4532 Mets strain 2137 mt-
$30.00
From Sabeeha Merchant, UCLA, June 2012
This strain is believed to be from a cross performed by Robert J. Spreitzer and Laurens Mets on WT strains 21gr mt+ from Ruth Sager and 137c mt- from Robert P. Levine. It was given to Sabeeha Merchant as ñ2137î by Laurens Mets.
This strain was believed to be 2137 WT mt+ (same as CC-3269). However, whole genome sequencing revealed that the strain is mt-. The presence of SNPs unique to both parental strains (21gr and 137c) suggest that this mt- strain probably came from the same cross that produced 2137 mt+.
Can be grown in the dark.
