Species:Escherichia coli
Group:K12
Strain designation:MG1655 seqA-PAmCherry
Accession number:LMBP 9778
Depositor:Prof.Dr J.Michiels1.It was constructed by T.Swings1
1 Centre of Microbial and Plant Genetics,Department of Microbial and Molecular Systems,KU Leuven,Leuven,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).
Medium:LB-Miller
Selection marker:kanamycin(50μg/ml)
Temperature:37°C
Genotype:F-λ-ilvG-rfb-50 rph-1 seqA-PAmCherry:km(R)(Source:http://openwetware.org/wiki/E._coli_genotypes#MG1655+Mika et al.,2015)
Phenotype:KanR
Properties:This strain can be used to study the subcellular localization of the E.coli DNA binding protein SeqA.
Further information:The native seqA gene was fused at its 3'end to the fluorescent protein gene PAmCherry,separated with a linker(ASPPPGRSR)and followed by a kanamycin resistance marker.The entire cassette was integrated in the chromosome.
PAmCherry is a photoactivatable variant of the red fluorescent protein mCherry.PAmCherry is not fluorescent until it is exposed to 350-400 nm light.
