Elizabeth Harris, Chlamydomonas Genetics Center, Duke University, September 1993
Isolated from garden soil collected in Durham, North Carolina in May 1991 by Elizabeth Harris. This is isolate #6. CC-2932 is a mt+ strain from the same soil sample. Both are interfertile with the standard laboratory strains. Patrick Ferris reports (pers. comm.) that these strains lack the Gulliver transposon. This strain can grow on nitrate. Phylogenetic comparisons of this strain and other C. reinhardtii isolates have been made by Liss, Kirk, Beyser and Fabry, using introns in the Actin and Ypt 4 genes. See GenBank sequences U55901, U55902, and U70568.
