CC-4386 rep27 (deletion) mt+
$30.00
From Tasios Melis, University of California, Berkeley, November 2010
This strain was obtained by insertional mutagenesis of CC-425 with the pJD67 (ARG7) plasmid. it lacks the REP27 gene, and is unable to repair PSII from photo-oxidative damage. It cannot complete the insertion of a nascent D1 into the PSII template during turnover of the D1/32 kD reaction center protein of PSII. This strain requires acetate for growth.
