Host name: Escherichia coli K12 DH5αpir (LMBP 7962)
New search | Print data sheet |
Species: | Escherichia coli |
Group: | K12 |
Strain designation: | DH5αpir |
Accession number: | LMBP 7962 |
Depositor: | Prof. Dr M. Herrington1 1 Biology Dept, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada It was obtained from Dr G. Philips2 2 College of Veterinary Medicine, Dept of Microbiology, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, USA |
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: | tetracycline (10 µg/ml), nalidixic acid (20 µg/ml) |
Temperature: | 37°C |
Genotype: | endA1 hsdR17 glnV44 (= supE44) thi-1 recA1 gyrA96 relA1 ϕ80dlacΔ(lacZ)M15 Δ(lacZYA-argF)U169 zdg-232::Tn10 uidA::pir+ |
Phenotype: | TetR NalR |
Properties: | This is a host strain for R6Kγori plasmids. In pir+ strains, R6K-containing plasmids replicate like medium-copy p15A plasmids. |
Further information: | The tetracycline and nalidixic acid resistance, conferred by Tn10 and gyrA96 respectively, have been experimentally confirmed by BCCM/GeneCorner. |
