Phenotype: requires elevated CO2 for photosynthetic growth
This strain was received from Kensaku Suzuki in 2011 as a progeny clone of 18-7F obtained after five crosses with CC-125. 18-7F 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.
