From Orio Ciferri, University of Pavia, Italy, August 1980

Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (fusidic acid)

This mutant is resistant to fusidic acid, a unique phenotype to date among C. reinhardtii mutants. It is easily scored and is a good marker for the distal left arm of linkage group II. Based on its phenotype and mapped position on linkage group 2, we think it is very likely a mutation in the gene encoding the chloroplast elongation factor EF-G.
