The nic-5 mutant requires nicotinamide and cannot use quinolinic acid. mod-1 is a second mutation that blocks utilization of quinolinic acid (in nic-6 mutants) and nicotinic acid (in nic-5 and nic-6). The mod-1 phenotype can be abolished by high ionic strength (50 mM KCl or other salts) but not by osmotically active agenes such as glucose, sucrose, or glycerol. Nakamura and Gowans (1972) postulated that the mod-1 mutation might modify calcium transport, with the change in utilization of nicotinic and quinolinic acids being a secondary effect.
