Nomenclature & Abbreviations
A listed gene name means that gene carries a loss of function mutation, a Δ preceding a gene name means the gene is deleted. If a gene is not listed, it is not known to be mutated. Prophages present in wt K-12 strains (F, λ, e14, rac) are listed only if absent. E. coli B strains are naturally lon- and dcm-.

F- = Does not carry the F plasmid
F+ = Carries the F plasmid. The cell is able to mate with F- through conjugation.
F'[ ] = Carries an F plasmid that has host chromosomal genes on it from a previous recombination event. This cell can also mate with F- through conjugation. Chromosomal genes carried in the F plasmid are listed in brackets.
rB/K+/- = The (B/K) defines the strain lineage. The +/- indicates whether the strain has or hasn't got the restriction system.
mB/K+/- = The (B/K) defines the strain lineage. The +/- indicates whether the strain has or hasn't got the modification (methylation) system.
hsdS = Both restriction and methylation of certain sequences is deleted from the strain. If you transform DNA from such a strain into a wild type strain, it will be degraded.
hsdR = For efficient transformation of cloned unmethylated DNA from PCR amplifications
INV( ) = chromosomal inversion between locations indicated
ahpC = mutation to alkyl hydroperoxide reductase conferring disulfide reductase activity
ara-14 = cannot metabolize arabinose
araD = mutation in L-ribulose-phosphate 4-epimerase blocks arabinose metabolism
cycA = mutation in alanine transporter; cannot use alanine as a carbon source
dapD = mutation in succinyl diaminopimelate aminotransferase leads to succinate or (lysine + methionine) requirement
Δ( ) = chromosomal deletion of genes between the listed genes (may include unlisted genes!)
dam = adenine methylation at GATC sequences exist; high recombination efficiency; DNA repair turned on
