• Strain #:
  • CC-73 ery3a mt-
  • Description:

  • Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University

    Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (erythromycin)

    The ery3a mutation was obtained in the Boynton/Gillham laboratory, induced by mutagenesis with nitrosoguanidine and shown to be equivalent to ery-2y in Surzycki and Gillham (1971) and papers by Chiang and colleagues.

    This is a very useful strain for mapping on the right arm of linkage group I, easy to score as resistant to 100 micrograms/ml erythromycin on minimal medium.

    We suspect the ERY3 locus corresponds to the PRPL34 gene, encoding chloroplast ribosomal protein L34.
