$30.00

From Anastasios Melis, UC Berkeley, October 2007

Phenotype: somewhat chlorophyll deficient; antibiotic resistant (kanamycin or neamine)

CC-4170 (Melis 37RP1-tla1) is a daughter cell of a cross between CC-4169 (the original tla1 strain) and CC-1068, selected because it has a cell wall, unlike the CC-4169 parent.

Please see CC-4169 for more information about the tla1 mutants.
