$30.00

From Anastasios Melis, UC Berkeley, October 2007

Phenotype: somewhat chlorophyll deficient; wall deficient; antibiotic resistant (streptomycin)

The tla1 mutant, which was obtained by insertional mutagenesis with plasmid pJD67, has a truncated light-harvesting chlorophyll antenna. Photosynthesis is not impaired.
