From Jean-David Rochaix, University of Geneva, November 2007
The stt7 mutant is defective in state transition between photosystem I and photosystem II. It can grow photoautotrophically, although at a slower rate than wild type. The STT7 gene is a serine-threonine protein kinase associated with the thylakoid membranes, and is an ortholog of Arabidopsis STN7.
*The copy in our collection lost the the original phenotype and does undergo state transition. This strain is not recommended.
