CC-1036 pf18 mt+

$30.00

From David Luck, Rockefeller University, 1980

Phenotype: impaired motility

Luck’s stock was obtained from Levine. This strain is Luck’s derivative pf18.8D+.

The pf18 mutant has a central pair defect that causes the flagella to be rigid. Motility is completely impaired. These properties have made it an excellent system for investigation of movements along the flagellar membrane.
