CC-4385 psbD (deletion) mt+

$30.00

From Tasios Melis, University of California, Berkeley, November 2010; originally from Dwight Barnes and Stephen Mayfield

This mutant, which was isolated in the CC-125 background, lacks the psbD gene and is unable to synthesize the D2 reaction center protein of photosystem II. In consequence, it cannot assemble any of the PSII-RC proteins, and cannot do PSII photochemistry. It requires acetate for growth.
