| Species | Comamonas sp. |
| Genotype | Comamonas sp. |
| Description | Bacteria. Comamonas sp., a bacterium on which C. elegans grows particularly well. Str-R. DA1877 is derived from a bacterium isolated from soil in the Dallas area by Boris Shtonda in 2002. That strain was called H39 in Avery, L, Shtonda, BB (2003), "Food transport in the C elegans pharynx", J Exp Biol 206: 2441-2457. It was identified as genus Comamonas by 16S rDNA sequencing, as described in the paper. L. Avery isolated a spontaneous streptomycin-resistant variant by selecting for growth in LB broth + 200 ug/ml streptomycin sulfate. This strain, when spread on NGMSR plates, gave rise to faster-growing papillae; one of these was streaked out to get DA1877. Biosafety Level: BSL-1. |
