From Robert J. Spreitzer, University of Nebraska, August 2014

Wild-type 2137 mt+ was recovered from a cross between 21gr mt+ (from Sager) and 137c mt- (from Levine) (Spreitzer 1980; Spreitzer and Mets 1981). Wild-type 21gr mt+ grew in clumps in minimal medium, was green in the dark, and was positively phototactic. Wild-type 137c mt- was yellow in the dark (y1) and negatively phototactic. Wild-type 2137 mt+ was chosen as having good-mating, non-clumping, green-in-the-dark, and negatively-phototactic phenotypes (Spreitzer 1980). This is the original 2137 strain. It has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since it was recovered.
