From Kathleen Peterson and W.T. Ebersold, UCLA, June 1978

Phenotype: requires acetate

This is a good genetic marker, cleanly acetate-requiring and easy to score.

Levine and Goodenough (1970) listed the ac28 mutant among those having normal pigment and CO2 fixation; the reason for the acetate requirement is unknown. At least nine allelic mutants were isolated in Levine’s laboratory, of which only this one, formerly ac28d, is extant.
