From Takeshi Ohama, Kochi University of Technology-Japan, September 2018

This strain is good for overexpression of various transgenes. This is probably due to the relieved transcriptional repression.

It was created by transforming CC-4533 with plasmid pMJ013b and paromomycin resistance was used for the selection of transformants (Zhang et al., 2014), resulting in met-1.

The ble-GFP construct was then introduced to met-1 and UV-mutagenesis was carried out to obtain met1(UVM)-47A. This strain is resistant to paromomycin and Zeocin.
