Genomic DNA from strain Yokohama (ATCC BAA-1508**)
Isolation
**source culture ATCC BAA-1508 is not available for distribution.
The presence of pMT1 and pPCP1 and the absence of pCD1 in BAA-1508D-5 have been confirmed by PCR amplification of plasmid-specific sequences from extracted DNA.
Biosafety Level
1
Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
