$30.00

From Claire Remacle, University of Liege, April 2006

Phenotype: dies in the dark

This mutant has a deletion of 0.7 kb in the cob gene and adjacent end of the mitochondrial genome. DNA analysis showed 15.1 kb monomer genomes and also dimers resulting from asymmetric fusions at the deleted end. The mutant is respiratory-deficient, and cannot grow on acetate in the dark. It lacks cyanide-sensitive respiration.
