CC-1944 lts1-135 cbn1-48

From Alexander Chunayev, Leningrad State University, December 1985, replaced May 1989

Phenotype: carotenoid and chlorophyll b deficient

This is a yellowish green, light-sensitive strain. The cbn1 mutation by itself produces deficiency in chlorophyll b, but does not prevent phototrophic growth. However, lts1-135 impairs carotenoid synthesis and causes light sensitivity.

For more information on cbn1, please see CC-1354, and for more on mutants at the LTS1 locus, please see CC-4109.
