From Rene Matagne, University of Liege, June 1991
Phenotype: wall deficient
This strain has a very good cell-wall-deficient phenotype.
The cwd mutation was isolated by Loppes and Deltour after nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of a stock P2PaPD4, deficient in acid and neutral phosphatase activities. It was selected initially as a potential mutant deficient in alkaline phosphatase, but subsequently proved to have a cell wall defect. It complements with cw15 in diploids.
