Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University

Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (streptomycin)

CC-118 was derived from a cross of wild type mt+ x sr-u-2-60 mt- (equivalent to CC-119).

This is an excellent chloroplast mutant, easy to score as resistant to up to 500 micrograms/ml streptomycin on agar (50-100 micrograms is sufficient to kill wild type cells). The mutation is an A to C change at base 474 of 16S rRNA gene (equivalent to E. coli 523).
