CC-4714 rbcL-C449S/C459S mt+ (Spreitzer)

$30.00

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

Girish Rasineni in Spreitzer’s group recovered this mutant by transforming rbcL∆-MX3312 mt+ (CC-4696) with plasmid pLS-C449S/C459S (Marin-Navarro and Moreno 2006) obtained from Joaquin Moreno in 2011. This Rubisco large-subunit mutant can grow photosynthetically on minimal medium like the original rbcL-C449S/C459S mutant previously described by Marin-Navarro and Moreno (2006).
