From Steven Ball, Lille University of Science and Technology, March 1992, his strain 17

Phenotype: altered starch metabolism

This mutant, which was isolated in the 137c background, accumulates much less starch than wild type cells. ADP-glucose pyrophorphorylase is altered so that it is much less sensitive to activation by 3-phosphoglycerate.
