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

Using standard methods of directed mutagenesis and nuclear-gene transformation of rbcS∆-T60-3 mt- (CC-4690), a C65A substitution (TGC-GCG) was created in the Rubisco small subunit (Genkov et al. 2006). This mutant was created to investigate rbcS suppression of an rbcL mutation. See also R88-5A (rbcL-L290F/rbcS2-C65S). This strain has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since its creation.
