Phenotype: requires acetate
The ac7 and ac7a mutations were isolated by Ebersold, and originally designated lg2a (see CC-673) and lg3a, respectively. They were described as acetate-requiring, and somewhat light-sensitive, having small, yellow-white, slow-growing colonies. The phenotype has become partially suppressed over the years, but at last check these strains were still scorable as yellowish green with a leaky acetate requirement, and mapped to the correct location on linkage group XI. Although it’s probably not a good choice as a mapping marker (try ery1 for this linkage group), it may be of interest as a mutant with an unknown defect in photosynthesis.age group), it may be of interest as a mutant with an unknown defect in photosynthesis.
