CC-1691 y1 mt- [Sager 6145]

$30.00

From Ruth Sager, Sidney Farber Cancer Institute, December 1983

Phenotype: yellow in the dark

This is a mt- equivalent to Sager’s basic wild type strain (see CC-1690). It has the wild type alleles at the NIT1 and NIT2 loci and can grow on nitrate.

The original 6145c was selected as a strain that is yellow in the dark, carrying what was later described as the y1 mutant (see CC-735). This particular isolate has been grown in constant light for years and is probably mixed for y1 and its wild type allele.
