This spontaneous “immortal” mutant (IM) was discovered by Dr. Manfredo Seufferheld in University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. It exhibited unique biophysical and biochemical characteristics compared to its progenitor ptx2 strain (CC-4909) and original background strain (CC-124) including higher biomass production under low light condition, higher oxygen evolution rate and production of protective compounds under certain conditions (Zhou, et al,.2014, submitted).
