Phenotype: can grow at very high light intensity

This is a spontaneous mutant selected in the wild-type strain CC-125 for ability to grow and remain green at very high light intensity (1500-2000 micromole photons per square meter per second). VHLR-S4 (CC-3723) and VHLR-S9 are the best characterized of this series of mutants.
