Notes
Useful strain for Lacα complementation. This strain does not contain the lacIq gene and therefore repression on the lac promoter, present on high-copy plasmids, is incomplete.
This strain contains the F factor of NK3 and therefore can be used for infection with M13 or fd phages and derivatives. In addition the strain is lysogenic for wild-type phage λ.
