This is a pf2 mt- progeny clone obtained from a cross between rbcL-P89R mt+ (Larson et al. 1997) and pf2 mt-. The P89R substitution in the Rubisco large subunit alters the species specificity of the interaction between Rubisco and Rubisco activase (Larson et al. 1997). This strain has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness to prevent selection for secondary mutations that may improve interactions between activase and Rubisco.
