2-Amino-5-fluorobenzoic acid is a toxic antimetabolite for the tryptophan pathway in yeast that can be used to counterselect for TRP1, a commonly used genetic marker in S. cerevisiae.{27254} Because this trp1 strain lacks the enzymes required for the conversion of anthranilic acid to tryptophan, it is resistant to 2-amino-5-fluorobenzoic acid feedback inhibition, enabling a growth-based, positive selection of the TRP1 marker. 2-Amino-5-fluorobenzoic acid is frequently used in genetic procedures that involve plasmid manipulations.{27254}
