Containment level:This strain has been assigned the containment level Class 1 following the European Directive 2009/41/EC on the contained use of genetically modified organisms,and its updates(see also the Belgian risk group classification).
Medium:LB-Lennox+L-asparagine(100μg/ml)
Selection marker:streptomycin(25μg/ml)
Temperature:37°C
Genotype:asnA31 asnB32 thi-1 relA spoT rpsL125(source:Parker et al.,1983)
Phenotype:StrR
Properties:The JK242 strain is auxotrophic for asparagine because of the inactivated asnA and asnB gene.It carries also the streptomycin-resistant allele,rpsL,a mutation leading to increased translational accuracy(Parker et al.,1983).
Further information:The streptomycin resistance has been experimentally confirmed by BCCM/GeneCorner.
