Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University

Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (paromomycin)

This is a spontaneous mutant isolated by N.W. Gillham prior to 1968, and is resistant to 10 micrograms/ml paromomycin. CC-89 was obtained from a cross of the original mutant. This is a nuclear mutation, defining a locus on linkage group X, and is a useful genetic marker.

Karen VanWinkle-Swift (unpublished) and Geraldine Fleming (Ph.D. thesis, Duke University) obtained viomycin-resistant mutants that proved to be alleles at this locus.
