A mutation (gad) linked to mt and affecting asexual plasmodium formation in Physarum polycephalum

T M Shinnick et al. J Bacteriol. 1977 Jul.

Abstract

Amoebae of the acellular slime mold Physarum polycephalum convert to plasmodia both asexually and sexually. Genetic analysis of a mutant that exhibits enhanced asexual plasmodium formation is reported. The mutant carries a single lesion (gad-11) located 12.3 map units from mt, a gene that controls mating specificity in sexual plasmodium formation. The mutation, which was isolated in an mt3 strain, is also expressed in mth and mt4 strains.
