arIs198 [glt-3p::CFP + glt-3p::LifeAct::TagRFP]. Large cysts in excretory canal, sometimes visible with dissecting microscope. Fluorescence shows some filamentation of actin fibers at apical (lumenal) surface of cysts. Derived by crossing parental strains NJ731 to GS7637 and outcrossing 3x to remove cyk-1 mutation on LG IV.

Formation of large round cysts in the excretory canal. The cysts begin to form shortly before hatching and is penetrant. The cysts grow in size throughout larval and adult stages, and can be lethal. The cysts form primarily at the canal tips. Some of the larger cysts may be visible by low power microscopy. Slight variable defects in the tail whip. Impenetrant distal tip cell migration defects (Mig).
