CC-4136 C3 (psaB) mt+

$30.00

From Jacqueline Girard-Bascou, Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique, January 2007

Phenotype: requires acetate

The C3 mutant was isolated after mutagenesis with 5-fluorodeoxyuridine and metronidazole selection, as described by Girard et al., 1980. Girard-Bascou showed that this is a mutation in the chloroplast psaB gene.
