CC-2377 mbo2 mt-

$30.00

From David Luck, Rockefeller University, May 1989

Phenotype: impaired motility

The original mbo2 mutants were nitrosoguanidine-induced in Luck’s laboratory in the 137c background. We don’t know which allele this is. The MBO2 locus corresponds to a gene encoding a coiled coil flagellar protein.
