From Kazuo Nakamura, University of Lethbridge June 1993

Phenotype: light sensitive in the presence of methionine

This strain dies in bright light when grown on agar containing 300 micrograms/ml methionine. Egashira et al. reported that addition of exogenous catalase prevented this lethality and showed that the strain is deficient in catalase.
