DH5alphaZi |
laciq, SpR, deoR, supE44, Delta(lacZYA-argFV169), Phi80 lacZDeltaM15, hsdR17(rK- mK+), recA1, endA1, gyrA96, thi-1, relA1 |
Its high transformation efficiency makes DH5alpha suited for DNA cloning and DNA preparation. Due to its relatively low growth rates it is not widely used for large scale protein production (e.g. by fermentation) |
||
| DH5alphaZ1 | laciq, PN25-tetR, SpR, deoR, supE44, Delta(lacZYA-argFV169), Phi80 lacZDeltaM15 |
|||
| DH5alphaInt |
pIntAssist (pSC101ts, KnR, PLts-int), deoR, supE44, Delta(lacZYA-argFV169), Phi80 lacZDeltaM15 |
DH5alphaInt carries a temperature sensitive plasmid harbouring the Lambda int gene (encoding Integrase) driven by a temperature inducible promoter. It is especially suited for Integrase mediated chromosomal integration of expression units. |
||
| C600Z1 |
laciq, PN25-tetR, SpR, lacY1, leuB6, mcrB+, supE44, thi-1, thr-1, tonA21 |
A high transformation efficiency combined with extremly fast growth rates makes C600Z1 a superb candidate for DNA cloning as well as high level protein production. RecA mediated chromosomal integration of DNA-sequences and general transduction, e.g. by P1, is also feasible. |
||
| C600Zi |
laciq, SpR, lacY1, leuB6, mcrB+, supE44, thi-1, thr-1, tonA21 |
Upon request, this strain is also available as a certified strain with proven strain history fulfilling all requirements for Good manufactoring practice (GMP) productions. |
||
| C600Int |
pIntAssist (pSC101ts, KnR, PLts-int), lacY1, leuB6,mcrB+, supE44, thi-1, thr-1, tonA21 |
C600Int carries a temperature sensitive plasmid harbouring the Lambda int gene (encoding Integrase) driven by a temperature inducible promoter. It is especially suited for Integrase mediated chromosomal integration of expression units. |
||
| W3110Z1 |
laciq, PN25-tetR, SpR, IN (rrnD-rrnE)1, rph-1 (see: ATCC 39936) |
This strain is widely used in large scale, commercial protein production processes. Due to its low transformation efficiency it is not suited for DNA cloning. |
