CC-124 wild type mt- 137c

Source: R.P. Levine via N.W. Gillham, 1968

Comment: This is the basic "137c" wild type strain originally from G.M. Smith, isolated in 1945 near Amherst MA, and is presumably equivalent to strain 11/32d of the Culture Centre of Algae and Protozoa. This particular strain was brought to Duke by N.W. Gillham in 1968 from Levine's laboratory at Harvard. CC-124 and CC-125 carry the nit1 and nit2 mutations, and cannot grow on nitrate as their sole N source. CC-124 carries the agg1 allele for phototactic aggregation; see The Chlamydomonas Sourcebook [Harris (1989)], p. 215. Contrast CC-125, which has the agg1+ allele at this locus.
