$30.00

From Robert J. Spreitzer, University of Nebraska, June 2014

Phenotype: requires acetate, sensitive to light, zeocin and spectinomycin resistant

This mutant was isolated as progeny clone 23C from a cross between rbcLΔ-MX3312 mt+ and rbcSΔ-CAL005.01.13 mt- (dim1). It lacks photosynthesis due to the loss of all Rubisco genes. The strain has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since its isolation in 2011.
