Species:Escherichia coli
Group:K12xB
Strain designation:DB3.1
Accession number:LMBP 4098
Depositor:Life Technologies Corporation1
1 Waltham,Massachusetts,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-Lennox
Selection marker:streptomycin(25μg/ml)
Temperature:37°C
Genotype:gyrA462 endA1Δ(sr1-recA)mcrB mrr hsdS20 glnV44(=supE44)ara14 galK2 lacY1 proA2 rpsL20 xyl5 leuB6 mtl1
Phenotype:StrR rB-mB-
Properties:DB3.1 is a HB101 derivative containing the gyrA462 allele which renders the strain resistant to the toxic effects of the ccdB gene.
Further information:Original Invitrogen catalogue number:11782-018.However,this strain is no longer available at Invitrogen.
Alternative:ccdB-resistant One Shot ccdB Survival 2 T1R Competent Cells,of which the ccdB-resistance mechanism is not known;it is based on empirical results and the success or failure of the transformation of the cells is plasmid-dependent(personal communication Invitrogen).
