CC-2899 nit3 mt+ [Fernandez 307]

$30.00

From Emilio Fernandez, University of Cordoba, April 1993

The nit3-307 mutation was isolated by Sosa et al. in Sager’s 6145c strain after nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis. This mutant is deficient in nitrate reductase and lacks the molybdenum cofactor and terminal reductase activities. Please see CC-3270 for a better isolate of this strain.
