CC-620 R3 NM mt+ [wild type, high efficiency mating]
$30.00
From Ursula Goodenough, Harvard University, June 1978
CC-620 and CC-621 are subclones of the Smith 137c wild type strain used in R.P. Levine’s laboratory at Harvard in the 1960s, selected for high mating efficiency. They are often used as demonstration material for Chlamydomonas mating in student laboratory exercises, and for production of gamete autolysin, as well as for controls in studies of the sexual cycle. However, these strains may produce lethals in crosses and are therefore not recommended for genetic analysis.
This strain carries the nit1 and nit2 mutations and cannot grow on nitrate.
This strain is listed in some publications as NO mt+.
