Phenotype: requires elevated CO2 for photosynthetic growth at 35 °C

This is an mt- progeny clone of a cross between 65-6A mt+ and “wild-type” mt-. It grows on minimal medium at 25 °C, but dies on minimal medium at 35 °C. It can be rescued on minimal medium at 35 °C with 5% CO2 in air. It may be defective in the CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM), but has not been analyzed. This nuclear mutant has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since its isolation.
