Phenotype: requires elevated CO2 for photosynthetic growth

Mutant 16-5K mt+ (CC-1860) was crossed with pf2 mt-, and this pf2 progeny clone was retained for further genetic analysis. Mutant 16-5K was originally recovered as an acetate-requiring mutant (Spreitzer and Ogren 1983). Subsequent screening found it to be rescued by elevated CO2, and deficient in inorganic carbon transport (Spalding et al. 1983). This strain has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since its isolation.
