Chlamydomonas Genetics Center, Duke University 1980

Phenotype: requires arginine

This strain was derived as follows:
CC-125 wild type mt+ was crossed to CC-10, the original arg4 stock in our collection. This cross gave many incomplete tetrads. An arginine-requiring product was then back-crossed to CC-125, and two products selected that became CC-1097 arg4 mt- and CC-1098 arg4 mt+. However, in a subsequent test cross to CC-1084 ac9, the expected linkage was not observed, and we are therefore concerned that this isn’t really arg4. For better arg4 strains, please see CC-1997 through CC-1999.
