parents 168 wild type
obtained from ICOS lab
owner Jonathan Tellechea

Genotype

trpC2, BC207-ble, amyE::GFP-cat

Phenotype

Trp(-), Zeocin resistant, Chloramphenicol resistant, GFP emission.

Comments

168-GFP emitting strain. Barcode 207 present in barcoding site between ybxH and ybxI genes (Zeocin resistant gene was kept next to the barcode sequence). GFP was inserted in amyE using plasmid from Reference (2).
