CC-3875 through CC-3893 are a collection of transformants of the T60-3 Rubisco knockout mutant created by Khrebtukova and Spreitzer (CC-4415).

For CC-3877, the plasmid used for the transformation leading to CC-3875 was modified by mutating processing site 1 in the transit peptide of the precursor of the Rubisco small subunit such that Pro(24)/Met(25) are exchanged by Ile(24)/Trp(25) and a NdeI restriction site is introduced into the DNA. Transformation resulted in complementation of rbcS-T60-3 to normal photoautotrophy. The intermediate sized small subunit is no longer produced.
