CC-4472 tla2- FtsY (cw15) mt+
$30.00
From Tasios Melis, University of California, Berkeley, October 2011
Phenotype: somewhat chlorophyll deficient
This strain has a lower Chl per cell content and higher Chl a / Chl b ratio than corresponding wild type strains. Physiological analyses revealed a higher intensity for the saturation of photosynthesis and greater Pmax values in the tla2 mutant than in the wild type. Biochemical analyses showed that the tla2- FtsY strain was deficient in the Chl a-b light harvesting complex (LHC), and had a Chl antenna size of the photosystems that was only about 65% of that in the wild type.
