From David Luck, Rockefeller University, May 1989

Phenotype: impaired motility

The mbo3 mutant was induced with ICR191 in the 137c background.

Most cells in a culture of this strain move backwards only, but Luck reported that the population typically also contains many cells with wild-type motility and cells with short, paralyzed flagella. Tam and Lefebvre also noted that this mutant has a leaky phenotype.
