Phenotype: dies in the dark

Isolated by Andrew Wiseman in the Boynton-Gillham laboratory, nitrosoguanidine-induced in wild type mt-. This is the original mutant.

This strain has reduced levels of cytochrome oxidase, but normal NADH-cytochrome c reductase; cristae appear normal, but mitochondrial matrix material is precipitated along surface of the cristae. At last check, the strain showed a leaky dark-dier phenotype.
