From Kathleen Peterson and W.T. Ebersold, UCLA, June 1978
Phenotype: requires acetate
The ac16 mutant was isolated by Eversole, originally EV16. Krinsky and Levine found that photosynthetic electron transport measured by the Hill reaction was normal in the ac16 mutant; carotenoids were only slightly different from those of wild type cells. Levine and Goodenough listed this mutant as nonphotosynthetic, with low or absent CO2 fixation, normal pigmentation; the nature of the photosynthetic lesion is unknown.
