Species:Escherichia coli
Group:K12
Strain designation:MC1061
Accession number:LMBP 9560
Depositor:Prof.Dr E.Remaut1 2
1 Department for Molecular Biomedical Research,VIB,Ghent,Belgium
2 Department of Biomedical Molecular Biology,Ghent University,Ghent,Belgium
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).
Other culture collection numbers:CGSC 6649
LMBP 00472
Medium:LB-Lennox
Selection marker:streptomycin(25μg/ml)
Temperature:37°C
Genotype:F-Δ(araA-leu)7697[araD139]B/rΔ(codB-lacI)3 galK16 galE15(GalS)λ-e14-mcrA0 relA1 rpsL150 spoT1 mcrB1 hsdR2(Source:CGSC 6649)
Phenotype:StrR rK-mK+ZeoR
Properties:Useful host for primary transformation.Transforms very well by the CaCl2 method(10exp7/μg).There is no Type I restriction;incoming DNA receives the E.coli K modification.As this strain is deleted for the lacI repressor gene,it is not a suitable host for plasmids carrying the lac promoter or derivatives thereof,such as tac,trc,N25/O2,...promoters.In the absence of repression,continuous transcription from the lac promoter is likely to result in plasmid instability.The zeocin resistance is most probably related to the presence of a functional recA gene(recA+)(personal communication John Wertz,director E.coli Genetick Stock Center).
