From George Witman, given to N.W. Gillham on a visit to Princeton, no accompanying letter, March 1978.
Phenotype: wall deficient
Original mutant isolated by D.R. Davies in the Ebersold/Levine 137c wild type background (equivalent to CC-125).
This is a very clean wall-deficient mutant, placed by Davies in his class C: cell walls are absent or produced in greatly reduced quantity compared to wild type. It forms flat, liquid colonies on agar, and the cells lyse in 1% solution of the nonionic detergent NP-40.
This strain was used for preparation of the DNA used for genomic sequencing.
