A collection of over 350 acetate-requiring mutants (Spreitzer et al. 1988) was screened for those that could be rescued with 5% CO2 in air. This is one of seven genetically-independent mutants that was recovered. It grows on minimal medium at 25 °C, but dies on minimal medium at 35 °C. It can be rescued on minimal medium at 35 °C with 5% CO2 in air. It may be defective in the CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM), but has not been analyzed. This strain has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since its isolation.
