Origin: Scott Newman in Boynton/Gillham lab, 1989; transferred to XL1 blue by Barbara Randolph-Anderson, 1995
This is the same insert as P-228, but in XL1 blue
The spr-u-1-6-2 mutations is an A-> G change at bp 1123 in the C. reinhardtii 16S rRNA gene which causes loss of an AatII restriction site and confers high level spectinomycin resistance.
