Phenotype: requires acetate

Despite isolation following 5-fluorodeoxyuridine treatment, a mutagen generally considered to act preferentially on chloroplast DNA, this is a nuclear mutation. It has a 5.7 kb insertion of the TOC1 transposon in the gene encoding the OEE1 protein.

Please see CC-4144 and CC-4145 for more recently acquired isolates of this mutant.
