Phenotype: wall deficient
This is one of the original cell wall deficient mutants isolated by Davies and colleagues, in the 137c background. Davies included cw2 in his class C: cell walls are absent or produced in greatly reduced quantity compared to wild type.
Like other wall-deficient mutants, cw3 forms flat, liquid colonies on agar, and the cells lyse in a 1% solution of the nonionic detergent NP-40.
