CC-602 pf1 mt-

$30.00

From Ursula Goodenough, Harvard University, June 1978

Phenotype: impaired motility

The pf1 mutant has a scorable motility defect, and is one of relatively few genetic markers on linkage group V. For research on motility, the better-characterized CC-1024 is preferred (please see that strain for more information). However, CC-602 is widely used in a student laboratory exercise in combination with CC-1032 pf14 mt+, to demonstrate complementation of flagellar mutations in newly formed zygotes (see the mating and dikaryon rescue kit)

This is probably the pf1 allele isolated by Lewin and subsequently mapped in Levine’s laboratory.
