MG1655 | str. K-12 F– λ– ilvG – rfb-50 rph-1 fnr? | Prototypical K-12 strain. Valine toxicity in absence of isoleucine, due to ilvG frameshift. Partial pyrimidine starvation from polar effects of rph-1 on pyrE causes 9–13% slower growth in minimal medium. Slow growth in M9 galactose (t d=200–300 min) Some strain variants have an fnr deletion that causes defects in anaerobic respiration. P1 phage susceptible due to IS in rfb O-antigen biosythesis gene cluster. Genome paper (old), paper (new). Genome. BioCyc . Allele variations. Allele table. MG1655 physiology. | — | — | — | |||||||||
