We offer a variety of strains that carry the traits for color and tryptophan (Trp) and adenine (Ade) dependence or independence, expressed as either different color colonies or by their ability to grow on selective media. Colony color on YEAD and dependence upon Trp or Ade is indicated by strain below.

These various strains can be used for a wide range of genetic experiments, including reproduction experiments, since the “a” strain will mate with the “alpha” strain.
