Phenotype: requires acetate, sensitive to light
Following 5-fluorodeoxyuridine treatment and ethyl-methanesulfonate mutagenesis of wild-type 21gr mt+ cells, colonies were screened for light-sensitive, acetate-requiring phenotypes (Spreitzer and Mets 1981). Mutant 8-31 displayed uniparental inheritance, and has normal fluorescence-induction kinetics (Spreitzer and Mets 1981). Preliminary studies indicated that it lacks photosynthetic phosphorylation (Selman-Reimer et al. 1981), and may be an atp-gene mutant. Recombination tests showed that 8-31 is at the same locus (psp-u-1) as 8-35, 10-2E, 10-7C, and 12-10B (Spreitzer and Ogren 1983a). A different photosynthetic phosphorylation locus (psp-u-2) was defined by mutant 12-5A (CC-2260) (Spreitzer and Ogren 1983a). This strain was recovered from a cross between the original 8-31 mt+ and pf2 mt- (from Levine), and has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since 1980 to prevent selection for revertants and non-light-sensitive suppressors (Spreitzer and Ogren 1983b).
