Phenotype: altered CO2 assimilation

Genetic engineering and nuclear-gene transformation of rbcS∆-T60-3 mt- (CC-4415) were used to create a hybrid Rubisco enzyme comprised of Chlamydomonas large subunits and sunflower small subunits (Genkov et al. 2010). This strain has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness to prevent selection for secondary mutations that may improve Rubisco function or stability.
