Rq = required: one of the listed supplements must be added to MM for growth
Rq* = Glasgow CM may also require supplementation
Res = resistant: mutant will grow in presence of supplement; wild type will not.
Sens = Hypersensitive: mutant will not grow in presence of supplement; wild type will
N-u = mutant will not grow if supplement is sole Nitrogen-source
C-u = mutant will not grow if supplement is sole Carbon-source
