• Strain #:
  • CC-87 nr-u-2-1 mt-
  • Description:

  • Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University

    Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (kanamycin or neamine)

    Product from a cross of CC-86 nr-u-2-1 mt+ x arg2 mt-. This stock is not arginine-requiring.

    This is a useful chloroplast marker, mapping to the 3′ end of the chloroplast 16S ribosomal RNA. The mutation is an A>G change at nucleotide 1340. Although isolated initially as a neamine-resistant strain, it is also resistant to kanamycin, a more readily available antibiotic.
