From Ursula Goodenough, Harvard University, May 1978

Phenotype: requires acetate

At least twelve ac14 alleles were isolated in Levine’s lab at Harvard. This is the one designated simply ac14 and defines the locus. A note in the Levine files dated 5/8/63 says, ‘Robert Novak, University of Delaware, says that ac14 (+) contains cells with duplicate sets of eyespots in different locations in the cell; also location of eyespots not fixed. Also says this stock will grow on glycine as N source.’

This strain has been moderately good in past crosses, but there are better markers for this region of linkage group I, e.g. arg2, ac115, ery3.
