CC-2001 arg9-1 mt+

$30.00

From Rene Matagne, University of Liege, May 1986

Phenotype: requires arginine (suppressed)

The arg9 mutants are deficient in acetylornithine aminotransferase and require arginine, citrulline or ornithine for growth. The ARG9 locus was mapped to a position about 20 cM centromere-proximal to the mating type locus by Ferris and Goodenough.

This strain has acquired a suppressor. For a cleaner arg9 strain, see CC-2958.
