CC-2696 A4d (Ds521, psbA deletion) mt+
$30.00
From Laurens Mets, University of Chicago, April 1992
Phenotype: requires acetate
The A4d strain was derived from a cross between B1 (= CC-2694, which is no longer in the collection) and LM3-4D1c (= CC-2692). It carries the nuclear Ds521 CAB deficiency mutation and the B1 deletion mutation in the chloroplast psbA gene. It has been used extensively in studies of PSI by Mets and others.
