From Robert J. Spreitzer, University of Nebraska, March 2014

Phenotype: requires acetate at 35 °C, temperature-conditional

The 70-5Y nuclear mutant was isolated by Spreitzer et al. (1992) by screening a collection of acetate-requiring mutants for lack of complementation with a known Rubisco rbcL mutant. 70-5Y grows on minimal medium at 25 °C, but dies on minimal medium at 35 °C. The mutant was crossed with pf2 mt- to confirm mendelian inheritance, and this mt+ progeny clone was retained for further analysis (Hong 1996). This strain has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since its isolation.
