From Jacqueline Girard-Bascou, Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique, July 1987

Phenotype: requires acetate

The ac21 mutant is deficient in the chloroplast Rieske iron-sulfur protein. This strain becomes suppressed easily.

From Madeline Wu, University of Maryland Baltimore County, September 1987

This is not C. reinhardtii. This stock is a subclone of a strain obtained by Madeline Wu from Carolina Biological Supply Company and used for some of her studies on chloroplast genes. Its origin and isolation location are unknown.

From Kenneth McElwain, Boynton-Gillham laboratory, Duke University, 1987

Phenotype: antibiotic resistant (thiostrepton)

McElwain presented evidence that this thiostrepton resistance mutation is in the structural gene for chloroplast ribosomal protein L11. The exact mutation has not yet been established.
