Comments
Respiration: uncharacterized nuclear petite genes (pet) (CE1)
Genetic petites become [rho-] at a high frequency. It is important to check whether the strain is [rho+] or [rho-] prior to use for complementation analyses.
The lys2 marker in this strain and in X3117-1D (ATCC 208078) complements other lys2 mutations; however, the strains are definitely Lys-.
