Genes

Locus	Cultural Requirements	Link Group
cyc-1-1	allelic recombination; no complementation
ylo	Yellow carotenoids. In addition to strains with mutations at loci designated ylo, strains with some al-1 alleles (especially ALS4 and RES-25) produce lemon-yellow carotenoids, although in reduced quantity (1039, 1042, 1071). age-3 mutants are also yellow. Many morphological mutants appear to be abnormal in carotenoid metabolism and may appear yellowish or pale rather than the wild-type orange.
