Phenotype: does not mate; moves backwards only

Originally isolated by Ritsu Kamiya, this strain does not mate, and also shows the backwards-swimming phenotype typical of mbo1 mutants. Both phenotypes are closely linked to mating type. Patrick Ferris (pers. comm.) thinks this is probably is a double mutant at the SFU (FUS1) and MBO1 loci.
