The metal-uptake-deficient Escherichia coli strain GR536 contains the ϕ80 prophage
Growth conditions that limit the effects of ϕ80-dependent lysis when using GR536 to identify metal-uptake genes by complementation are clarified, specifically, removal of the antibiotic resistance markers and the avoidance of using intact pBAD30 as a negative control.
