Depositor Comments

The authors strongly recommend that all MP-carrying strains be maintained in rich media supplemented by 25 mM glucose. The expression of the MP-borne mutators is regulated by the E. coli arabinose pBAD promoter, which is efficiently repressed at high concentrations of glucose. Please consult Badran and Liu, Nature Communications (2015) for more detailed strain maintenance protocols.
