From Laurens Mets, University of Chicago, April 1992

Phenotype: requires acetate

This strain, designated LM3-4D1C, is a segregant from a tetrad carrying the Ds521 CAB deficiency mutation described originally in Galloway and Mets (1989). Ds521 was originally isolated by FuDR/EMS mutagenesis of the chloroplast DCMU-resistant mutant Dr2 with selection for DCMU sensitivity. Ds521 has reduced chlorophyll per cell and a high chlorophyll a/b ratio compared to wild type cells, with loss of a large fraction of the chl a/b light-harvesting complex.
