From W.T. Ebersold, UCLA, to Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University, 1973
Phenotype: requires p-aminobenzoic acid
This strain requires 50 micrograms/ml p-aminobenzoic acid; yeast extract will suffice. It cannot use shikimic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, or other aromatic compounds. The original mutant description stated that it is killed by 1 microgram/ml sulfanilamide. It is easy to score by failure to grow on minimal or acetate medium. In a test cross to a wild type strain, in which the meiotic tetrad products were dissected on yeast extract, the pab products formed small colonies, but grew adequately when repicked.
