Genes

Locus	Cultural Requirements	Link Group	Type
ylo-1	VIL. Between cys-1 (8%) and ad-1 (6%). Probably right of Bml (2%) (1012, PB). (381). Yellow carotenoids (381). Affects synthesis of neurosporaxanthin (4'-apo-beta'-caroten-4'-oic acid); citations in reference 398. Lesion probably involves the conversion of lycopene to 3,4-dehydrolycopene or the conversion of either torulene or gamma-carotene to neurosporaxanthin (398 and references therein) (Fig. 9). Resembles the orange wild type in young cultures, but color differences become clear with age. Expressed in both conidia and mycelia. Undefined modifiers affect intensity. Fails to complement with many of the al-1 and al-2 albino strains (R.E. Subden, personal communication).	VIL	B
glp-2	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.	IIR	B
