Bacteria. Genotype: F-, mcrA, mcrB, IN(rrnD-rrnE)1, rnc14::Tn10(DE3 lysogen: lacUV5 promoter -T7 polymerase) (IPTG-inducible T7 polymerase) (RNAse III minus). This strain grows on LB or 2XYT plates. This strain is tetracycline resistant. Researchers using this strain should test for expression by transforming in one of the plasmids from the Fire Vector Kit (1999) (pLT76, e.g.) using standard CaCl2 transformation techniques. Biosafety Level: BSL-1.

RNAi-capable OP50 strain. Tetracycline & Chloramphenicol resistant. Uracil auxotroph. E. coli B. Biosafety Level: BSL-1. Standard OP50 (CGC) was rendered RNAi competent through two modifications by phage transduction. The OP50 RNase III (rnc) allele was replaced with the deletion allele (rnc14::?Tn10) found in HT115(DE3), and a genomically encoded IPTG-inducible T7 RNA polymerase (lacz?A::T7pol camFRT) was introduced.

Bacteria. E. coli carrying pAG607 (orn-1 RNAi feeding vector) for SILAC. Arg-, Lys-, AmpR, TetR. argA, lysA, mcrA, mcrB, IN(rrnD-rrnE)1, lambda-, rnc14::Tn10(DE3 lysogen::lavUV5 promoter -T7 polymerase). Resistant to ampicillin and tetracycline. Reference: Larance M, et al. Nat Methods. 2011 Aug 28;8(10):849-51. Biosafety Level: BSL-1.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, BliEglUnc, and animals with muscle attachment defects and ventral cord displacement and detachment which arrest in larval development. Not well balanced.
