glycerol phosphate-2

locus: glp-2

locus_name: glycerol phosphate-2

organism_type: B

chromosome_number: II

chromosome_side: R

link_group: IIR

cultural_requirements: IIR. Right of T(ALS176); hence, of arg-5 (8%). Left of T(NM177); hence, of pe (7%). Linked to aro-3 (3%) and ff-1 (glp-3) (15%) (263).Unable to use glycerol, dihydroxyacetone, or glyceraidehyde as the sole carbon source (261, 263). Lacks both mitochondrial and cytosolic flavin-linked glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (263). Three independent isolates all have altered ropy-like vegetative morphology, but are female fertile, unlike most ro mutants (212, 263). The report of complementation groups at this locus (214) is in error (J.B. Courtright, personal communication). Fine-structure map (262). Called gly-2.
