CC-2689 st2-2 pab2 ac14 mt+
$30.00
From Steven Ball, Lille University of Science and Technology, March 1992, his strain B5
Phenotype: altered starch metabolism; requires acetate and p-aminobenzoic acid
This strain is amylose-defective, and accumulates a modified amylopectin. The st2 mutants are analogous to waxy (amylose-deficient) endosperm mutants of higher plants. Because of the ac14 and pab2 mutations, this strain requires acetate and para-amino-benzoic acid (for which yeast extract will suffice).
