Phenotype: does not mate when grown at high temperature
This is a temperature-sensitive, sex-limited mutant impaired in mating. When grown at 35 degrees, gam1 cells agglutinate with their mt+ partners and form a mating structure that appears normal in EM, but the mating structure fails to activate and no fusion occurs.
