From Saul Purton, University College London, August 2023

Origin: psbH::aadA knockout in which part of the psbH coding region and 3’ UTR is replaced with the aadA cassette through chloroplast transformation

Culture maintenance: Acetate-requiring, light-sensitive (ΔPSII mutant)

This strain was created to serve as a recipient for ‘marker-free’ chloroplast transformation where selection is based on restoration of phototrophy using the WT psbH gene as the marker. This strain has the same psbH::aadA genotype as strain TN72 (see: CC-5168) but was created using the cell-walled wild-type strain CC-1690 rather that a cell-wall deficient strain carrying the cw15 nuclear lesion. HT72 is therefore suitable for transformation using the microparticle bombardment method.
