Notes
Useful host for primary transformation. Transforms very well by the CaCl2 method (107/µg). There is no Type I restriction; incoming DNA receives the E. coli K modification.
Lysogenized with λ wild type.
As this strain is deleted for the lacI repressor gene, it is not a suitable host for plasmids carrying the lac promoter or derivatives thereof, such as tac, trc, N25/O2 … promoters. In the absence of repression, continuous transcription from the lac promoter is likely to result in plasmid instability.
