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

Phenotype: requires nicotinamide

The nic1 mutation was obtained by Eversole, and is one of the few genetic markers for linkage group XV. This strain has given relatively high lethality in some crosses, but is easy to score by sensitivity to 3-acetyl pyridine.

Lin et al. demonstrated that this is a mutation in the gene encoding nicotinate-/nicotinamide-nucleotide adenylyltransferase.
