CC-555 ac208 mt+

$30.00

From Ursula Goodenough, Harvard University, May 1978

Phenotype: requires acetate on copper-containing medium.

Please see CC-556 for more information on the ac208 mutation.

The CC-555 strain has given a high degree of lethality and aberrant segregations in past crosses. CC-556 ac208 mt- or CC-1729 ac208 mt- would probably be better choices for genetic analysis if mating type is not an issue.
