Mutants

Description:

The ac209 mutation was UV-induced. This mutant was listed as nonphotosynthetic. The specific defect has not been determined. The ac209 marker in this strain ultimately traces back to MUT-557 ac209 mt-. In a test cross in 1983, the ac209 marker was scorable only as a color difference rather than absolute acetate requirement, but was clearly segregating 2:2. This is the only ac209 isolate now in the collection. The AC209 locus was originally placed on the left arm of linkage group I based on a cross of ac206 x ac14 (39:0:130).

Species:

Chlamydomonas

Phenotype:

Requires acetate (somewhat suppressed)
