CC-544 ac80 mt-

From Ursula Goodenough, Harvard University, May 1978

Phenotype: requires acetate

The ac80 mutation was UV-induced in Levine’s lab. This mutant is deficient in P700 and photosystem I activity.

At last check, this strain showed a clean acetate requirement and was easy to score in crosses. Linkage to pf18 was confirmed.
