CC-1683 ac145 mt+

Chlamydomonas Genetics Center, Duke University, 1983
Phenotype: requires acetate
The ac145 mutation was UV-induced in Levine’s laboratory, and was described as non-photosynthetic, deficient in “component X.”
This strain is from CC-864 nic13 x CC-571 ac145 (no longer in the collection), 1983, and has the wild type allele at the NIC13 locus.
The stock of this mutant (CC-571) obtained from Levine’s laboratory in 1978 by the Chlamydomonas Genetics Center showed a leaky acetate requirement but yielded clean isolates on crossing to wild type strains. The CC-1683 and CC-1684 derivatives were clearly acetate-requiring at the time they were created, but now are more difficult to score. Good isolates could probably be recovered again by crossing.
At one time AC145 was a key marker for linkage group X, but has become less important as molecular markers for this group have been characterized.
