From Emilio Fernandez, University of Cordoba, April 1993

Mutants at the NIT6 locus are deficient in the molybdenum cofactor for nitrate reductase and xanthine dehydrogenase. Both the nit5 and nit6 mutations are required to give the nitrate reductase deficient phenotype. Please see CC-2896 for more information on nit5. The nit5 nit6 double mutant strain was referred to by Sosa et al. as strain 102.
