CC-2391 arg9-2 mt+

$30.00

From Liz Orr in Ursula Goodenough’s laboratory, Washington University, September 1989

Phenotype: requires arginine (suppressed)

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

This strain is suppressed. The arg9 shf2 double mutant CC-2958 is still arginine-requiring.
