scot	VR. Between al-3 (7%) and his-6 (11%) (810). Spreading colonial growth with delayed, reduced conidiation on solid media and pelleted growth in liquid medium, above 34°C. Not distinguishable from scot+ strains at 25°C. Best scored on glycerol complete medium at 39 C. Present in Beadle-Tatum and Rockefeller-Lindegren wild types and numerous derivatives (810). Probably the same gene was discovered independently by Fincham and by Emerson (322), studied by Pao (780), and called t, thermophobic. Strains containing t showed start-stop growth in growth tubes, with growth distance depending on carbon source (sucrose versus lactose or galactose) and concentration (J.R.S. Fincham, personal communication). scot could be responsible for temperature effects on moemutants of reference 382.	VR	B
