From Ursula Goodenough, Harvard University, May 1978

Phenotype: requires acetate

This mutant was isolated in Levine’s laboratory, probably by UV mutagenesis, but this is not specified in Levine’s file notes. It was found to be an allele at the AC1 locus.

When last tested, this strain was scorable by slow growth and pale green color on minimal medium. This is a reasonably good marker for linkage group VII, which is relatively sparsely populated with genetic markers.
