Beta-glucosidase-1

locus: gluc-1

locus_name: Beta-glucosidase-1

organism_type: B

chromosome_number: III

chromosome_side: R

link_group: IIIR

cultural_requirements: IIIR. Linked to dow (10%) (B.M. Eberhart, personal communication).Activity of the thermostable aryl-beta-glucosidase reduced to 10% of the wild type (300) by one allele, and to <1% in a second-step mutant then called gluc-2, which showed 0/200 recombination with the original mutation and is probably allelic (299). Low activity is dominant in heterokaryons (630). Selected by the p-nitrophenyl glucoside staining reaction (297). Scored by breakdown of the beta-glucoside esculin (0.01%) as measured by fluorescence at pH 5.5 (300), or by precipitation of ferric ammonium citrate (0.1%) by esculetin (2 days, 25 C) (B.M. Eberhart, personal communication).
