From Ursula Goodenough, Harvard University, May 1978

Phenotype: requires acetate

This is the original ac9 mutation, isolated in Levine’s laboratory.

This strain was scorable as acetate-requiring when last checked, but didn’t give terribly good results in crosses, showing incomplete tetrads and poor viability. For analysis of the non-photosynthetic phenotype (a block in psaA splicing), the allelic mutants F25 (CC-1050) and M18 (CC-1051) may be easier to work with. Of the three, M18 is the best-characterized.
