CC-73 ery3a mt-
$30.00
$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (erythromycin)
The ery3a mutation was obtained in the Boynton/Gillham laboratory, induced by mutagenesis with nitrosoguanidine and shown to be equivalent to ery-2y in Surzycki and Gillham (1971) and papers by Chiang and colleagues.
This is a very useful strain for mapping on the right arm of linkage group I, easy to score as resistant to 100 micrograms/ml erythromycin on minimal medium.
We suspect the ERY3 locus corresponds to the PRPL34 gene, encoding chloroplast ribosomal protein L34.

CC-86 nr-u-2-1 mt+
$30.00
$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (kanamycin or neamine)
Product from a cross of wild type mt+ (N.W. Gillham’s strain, equivalent to CC-125) to nr-u-2-1 sr-u-2-60 mt-.
This is a useful chloroplast marker, mapping to the 3′ end of the chloroplast 16S ribosomal RNA. The mutation is an A>G change at nucleotide 1340. Although isolated initially as a neamine-resistant strain, it is also resistant to kanamycin, a more readily available antibiotic. CC-86 was used in many crosses in the Boynton-Gillham laboratory in the 1970s.

$30.00
$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (paromomycin)
This is a spontaneous mutant isolated by N.W. Gillham prior to 1968, and is resistant to 10 micrograms/ml paromomycin. CC-89 was obtained from a cross of the original mutant. This is a nuclear mutation, defining a locus on linkage group X, and is a useful genetic marker.
Karen VanWinkle-Swift (unpublished) and Geraldine Fleming (Ph.D. thesis, Duke University) obtained viomycin-resistant mutants that proved to be alleles at this locus.

CC-99 sr-u-sm3a mt+
$30.00
$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (streptomycin)
This is a haploid derivative of the original sr-u-sm-3a strain, which was a diploid. The streptomycin resistance results from a mutation in the gene encoding chloroplast 16S rRNA. This mutation is unique among chloroplast sr mutants examined in having an alteration in the extreme 5′ end of the 16S rRNA molecule (U -> G at nt 14, corresponding to E. coli 13)

CC-104 spr-u-1-27-3 mt+
$30.00
$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (spectinomycin)
CC-104 was derived from a cross of CC-105 spr-u-1-27-3 mt+ to an ac20 cr1 strain. A tetratype tetrad was selected; this is the product that carries the wild type alleles of the ac20 and cr1 mutations.
Because this strain was used frequently in chloroplast genetics studies in the Boynton-Gillham laboratory, it was chosen from among several spr-u-1-27-3 strains as the representative mt+ stock for that mutation in the core collection.
spr-u-1-27-3 is a G -> A mutation at bp 1125 in the chloroplast 16S rRNA gene, and confers relatively low levels of spectinomycin resistance. Cells of this mutant grown on minimal medium on agar are killed by 100 micrograms/ml spectinomycin but will grow on acetate at this concentration.

CC-110 spr-u-1-6-2 mt+
$30.00
$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (spectinomycin)
This strain was derived at Duke from a cross between CC-147 nr1-8 spr-u-1-62 and CC-198 er-u-37 sr-u-2-60; it does not carry nr1-8 or the markers from CC-198.
This is a good chloroplast resistance marker, easy to score on 100 microgram/ml spectinomycin. spr-u-1-6-2 is an A to G mutation at position 1123 in the chloroplast 16S rRNA and confers high level spectinomycin resistance under all growth conditions.

CC-112 sr1 mt+
$30.00
$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (streptomycin)
Originally from R.P. Levine, designated sr-1-H-5; this stock is a derivative of the mutant strain originally isolated by N.W. Gillham in Levine’s laboratory and was designated sr-1a. Although alleles at the SR1 locus are readily obtained, and are mentioned in papers by Sager and others, we think the sr1 mutation in the various multiply marked strains in our collection is probably this one.
This is an excellent marker for linkage group IX, easy to score as resistant to 100 micrograms/ml streptomycin. In contrast to some chloroplast-encoded streptomycin-resistant mutants, sr1 is not resistant to 500 micrograms/ml streptomcin.
Bartlett et al. showed that this mutation confers resistance directly on the small subunit of the chloroplast ribosome. Based on its map position and analogous mutations in bacteria, we suspect that the SR1 locus may correspond to the PRPS17 gene, encoding protein S17 of the chloroplast ribosome.

$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (streptomycin)
CC-118 was derived from a cross of wild type mt+ x sr-u-2-60 mt- (equivalent to CC-119).
This is an excellent chloroplast mutant, easy to score as resistant to up to 500 micrograms/ml streptomycin on agar (50-100 micrograms is sufficient to kill wild type cells). The mutation is an A to C change at base 474 of 16S rRNA gene (equivalent to E. coli 523).

Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
Phenotype: antibiotic and inhibitor resistant (canavainine, methionine sulfoximine, streptomycin)
An early strain, derived from a cross by Gillham.
This is a potentially useful combination of three easily scored markers for comparison of Mendelian vs. uniparental inheritance.

$30.00
$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University; originally from R.P. Levine.
Phenotype: requires thiamine
This strain shows slow growth on minimal medium. This mutation is in the gene encoding hydroxyethylthiazole kinase, a protein in the thiamine biosynthesis pathway. The locus is within the mating type region on chromosome 6.

CC-124 wild type mt- [137c]
$30.00
$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
This is the basic “137c” wild type strain originally from G.M. Smith, isolated in 1945 near Amherst MA, and is presumably equivalent to strain 11/32d of the Culture Centre of Algae and Protozoa. This particular strain was brought to Duke by N.W. Gillham in 1968 from R.P. Levine’s laboratory at Harvard.
CC-124 and CC-125 carry the nit1 and nit2 mutations, and cannot grow on nitrate as their sole N source. CC-124 carries the agg1 allele for phototactic aggregation (see CC-1328 for more information), in contrast to CC-125, which has the agg1+ allele at this locus.
For more information on the origin of the standard laboratory strains of C. reinhardtii, please see the following paper:

CC-125 wild type mt+ [137c]
$30.00
$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
This is the basic “137c” wild type strain originally from G.M. Smith, isolated in 1945 near Amherst MA, and is presumably equivalent to strain 11/32c of the Culture Centre of Algae and Protozoa. This particular strain was brought to Duke by N.W. Gillham in 1968 from R.P. Levine’s laboratory at Harvard.
CC-124 and CC-125 carry the nit1 and nit2 mutations, and cannot grow on nitrate as their sole N source. CC-125 carries the AGG1 (agg1+) allele for phototactic aggregation, in contrast to CC-124, which has the agg1 allele at this locus.
CC-125 is the background strain for many mutations, including CC-503 cw92 mt+ which was the source of DNA used for genomic sequencing.

CC-127 arg 2N mt- [diploid]
$30.00
$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
From a cross in R.P. Levine’s laboratory of arg2 mt+ x arg7 mt, selected as a potential diploid. This strain was brought to Duke by N.W. Gillham in 1968. Arginine-requiring progeny have been recovered from crosses to wild type mt+.
This is the strain we normally distribute when a basic “wild type” diploid strain is requested. Karen Kindle has reported that CC-127 grows on nitrate, suggesting (somewhat to our surprise) that at least one of the parental stocks was not in the Levine (nit1 nit2) 137c background.
Ebersold WT (1967) Chlamydomonas reinhardi: heterozygous diploid strains. Science 157:447-449
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (erythromycin, kanamycin/neamine, spectinomycin)
Isolated at Duke from a spontaneous biparental zygote in a cross of GB-140 (nr-u-2-1 spr-u-1-H-4 sr-u-2-60) to CC-67 (er-u-37), and used in chloroplast mapping crosses..
Caution! This is NOT the same thing as “wild type strain 137c”. If that’s what you’re looking for, see CC-124 and CC-125.
CC-146 nr1-1 spr-u-1-6-2 mt-
$30.00
$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (neamine, spectinomycin)
From a cross by Gillham of spr-u-1-6-2 mt+ x nr-u-2-1 sr-u-2-60 mt-, selected as a potential recombinant resistant to both spectinomycin and nearmine, but sensitive to streptomycin.
When outcrossed to wild type, the neamine resistance in this strain showed Mendelian segregation, and the strain was not cross-resistant to kanamycin (although the original nr-u-2-1 mutant is resistant) nor were chloroplast ribosomes resistant to neamine in poly-U directed amino acid incorporation. Therefore this strain contains a new spontaneous neamine-resistance mutation. Subsequently this was mapped to linkage group VIII and shown to be allelic with other nuclear nr1 mutants. This particular allele was designated nr1-1, and is the allele present in a number of derivative strains, including CC-975, CC-1088, CC-1144, CC-1714, CC-1720, CC-1730, CC-1735, and probably CC-2645.
This is a good strain to use either for spr-u-1-6-2 or nr1 in mt-.
CC-155 ac20 cr1 mt+
$30.00
$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
Phenotype: requires acetate; cold sensitive on minimal medium
Product 5.6.2 from a cross of wild type to the original ac20 cr1 double mutant (CC-154 mt-, a strain now discontinued.)
This strain was used by Boynton et al. (1972) in their study of mutants deficient in chloroplast ribosomes. This strain is a good choice when maximal deficiency in chloroplast protein synthesis is desired. Even so, this strain does not have a stringent acetate requirement, and does grow slightly on minimal medium. Scoring is easier at cool temperatures, e.g. 15 degrees.

CC-181 sr-u-2-23 mt+
$30.00
$30.00
Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University
Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (streptomycin)
This is a subclone of the original sr-u-2-23 mutant, which was induced in the Boynton-Gillham lab at Duke, using nitrosoguanidine as mutagen.
This strain shows moderately low levels of streptomycin resistance (50-100 micrograms/ml) on minimal medium, and somewhat higher levels of resistance when grown on acetate. The mutation is a C>U change at position 856 in the chloroplast 16S rRNA, equivalent to position 912 of E. coli
