Genes

Locus	Cultural Requirements	Link Group	Type
sit-1	Unmapped. Defective uptake of exogenous ferricrocin and coprogen. Several mutations are known that represent at least three loci. Selected in triple mutant aga;arg-5;ota (G.W. Charlang and N.P. Williams, personal communication), which is blocked in the known pathways to ornithine (240) and thus depleted of siderophores. (1147, G. W. Charlang and N. P. Williams, personal communications) Transport of siderophores is severly reduced. Binding is defective. Germination is slow.		B
