From Yingjun Wang and Martin Spalding, Iowa State University, July 20, 2011

This is Wang’s strain HCR301, isolated as a mutant requiring high CO2, and subsequently identified as an insertional mutation near the men-D gene, encoding an enzyme in the phylooquinone biosynthetic pathway. A similar mutant was described by Lefebvre-Legendre et al. but has not been compared directly to this allele yet.
