$30.00

From Emilio Fernandez, University of Cordoba, April 1993

The nit1-301 allele was isolated by Sosa et al. in Sager’s 6145c strain after nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis. This mutant is deficient in nitrate reductase and lacks the terminal reductase activity. This strain has the wild type allele at the NIT2 locus.
