From Laurens Mets, 1981
Phenotype: altered CO2 assimilation
Received as Spreitzer and Mets III-180 a12-1C-
This is Spreitzer and Mets mutant 12-1C. It is deficient in carbonic anhydrase and requires high CO2 levels for growth on minimal medium. Funke et al. showed that this is a nonsense mutation in the CAH3 gene.
