Phenotype: requires elevated CO2 for photosynthetic growth

This strain was received from Kensaku Suzuki in 2011. It was originally recovered as an acetate-requiring mutant (Spreitzer and Ogren 1983). Subsequent screening found it to be rescued by elevated CO2, and deficient in phosphoglycolate phosphatase activity (Suzuki et al. 1990). The strain has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since 2011.
