(1) TE given are for high efficiency chemically competent strains. TE for electrocompetent strains are 1-4 x 1010cfu/mg. TE for subcloning strains are >1 x 106.
(2) Restriction-deficient strain.
(3) Important for plasmid preparation.
(4) Lacks Lon and OmpT protease activity.
(5) Constitutively expresses a chromosomal copy of the disulfide bond isomerase DsbC.
(6) nit = nitrofurantoin, tet = tetracycline, cam = chloramphenicol, str = streptomycin, spec = spectinomycin
(7) Resistance to low levels of streptomycin may be observed.
