Transformed C. trachomatis

UID Chlamydia strain Plasmid name Primary reference Notes
CT401 L2P- (CT109) pSW2-GFP Wang et al., 2011 SW2 plasmid inserted into pSP73 vector. Carries red-shifted GFP (RSGFP) gene. See above table for more information on pSW2-GFP.
CT402 SWFP- (CT107) pSW2-GFP Wang et al., 2013 SW2 plasmid inserted into pSP73 vector. Carries red-shifted GFP (RSGFP) gene. See above table for more information on pSW2-GFP.
CT403 A2497 (CT101) pSW2-GFP Unpublished SW2 plasmid inserted into pSP73 vector. Carries red-shifted GFP (RSGFP) gene. A2497 cured of its endogenous plasmid in Southampton, using Novobiocin (as described by O'Connell et al., 2006) prior to transforming with the shuttle vector. See above table for more information on pSW2-GFP.
