$30.00
Hurley Shepherd in Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University, 1979
Phenotype: requires acetate
This is a deletion mutation in the atpB gene. CC-368 is easy to score as a clean acetate-requiring strain. Another deletion mutant, CC-373 ac-u-c-2-21, is more frequently used as a recipient for atpB transformation of the chloroplast, however.
