Phenotype: requires acetate; antibiotic resistant (spectinomycin)

From CC-1243 ac215 x CC-801 spr1

This strain couples two markers on linkage group XVIII.

CC-1243 and CC-1244, which are no longer in the collection, were mt+ and mt- isolates of the mutant described by Spreiter and Mets as a11-6C. It was subsequently named ac215, as the next locus number in the ac series. This mutant is deficient in photosystem I and is light-sensitive.

Spreitzer and Mets reported relatively close linkage of the ac215 (11-6C) mutant to its centromere (ac/y1 19:15:0). Crosses at the Chlamydomonas Genetics Center assigned this locus to linkage group XVIII.
