Depositor Comments

Genotype = metA
Precursor strain = C43(DE3)
Selective amino acid labeling (and/or requirement) = Met

Each target gene was deleted from the chromosome of C43 (DE3) E. coli strain using λ-Red recombination system.

Supplemental documents contain a list of PCR primers used for verification of each knocked-out gene as well as an image showing PCR results for this strain.
