CC-4625 R107-4B mt+ (revertant of 76-5EN)
$30.00
From Robert J. Spreitzer, University of Nebraska, March 2014
Phenotype: requires acetate at 35 °C, temperature-conditional
This photosynthesis-competent revertant was selected from the Rubisco rbcL-mRNA deficient 76-5EN nuclear mutant (Hong and Spreitzer 1994, 1998). It can grow on minimal medium at 25 °C, but dies on minimal medium at 35 °C. R107-4B is a double mutant (76-5EN/S107-4B) that results from a nuclear-gene intergenic suppressor (S107-4B) of 76-5EN. When separated from 76-5EN, S107-4B has a temperature-conditional phenotype (Hong and Spreitzer 1998). This strain has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since its isolation.
