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

R95-1C was recovered as a photosynthesis-competent revertant of rbcL-G54D mt+ (31-4E). It results from a pseudoreversion mutation that causes an D54V substitution (GAT-GTT), which results in a G54V substitution (GGT-GTT) in the Rubisco large subunit (Spreitzer et al. 1995). The G54V substitution causes a decrease in Rubisco CO2/O2 specificity and holoenzyme stability. This strain has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since its isolation.
