From Ursula Goodenough, Harvard University, May 1978

Phenotype: requires acetate; cold sensitive on minimal medium

This strain was received as ac20 but was found by genetic analysis to be the double mutant ac20 cr1; see CC-43 for more information. It is deficient in chloroplast ribosomes and has pleiotropic defects in chloroplast structure and function. However, it does grow slightly on minimal medium. The acetate-requiring phenotype is enhanced at 15 degrees. This strain is a good choice for a strain with a general defect in chloroplast protein synthesis.
