From Jim Moroney, Louisiana State University, February 2022

Cia8 is an insertional mutant missing a chloroplast transport protein.  It has a mild CCM phenotype, meaning it grows slightly worse than wild-type cells at low CO2.  It is typically maintained on TAP in constant low light. It is not sensitive to the dark like the CAH4 RNAi lines.
