BLT5403 is a host strain for the growth of the bacteriophage T7Select10-3, T7Select1-1 and T7Select1-2, which require an exogenous source of capsid protein. BLT5403 carries an ampicillin-resistant plasmid that supplies large amounts of capsid protein. The antibiotic carbenicillin is preferred over ampicillin, because the level of plasmid retention is superior. BLT5403 is somewhat inhibitory to T7 growth, perhaps because it produces too much capsid protein. Plaques are smaller on BLT5403, but lysate titers show little difference from titers on
BLT5615.
