Catalog No: ALS-02557
Product Details
Subategory:
Mutants
Description:
This strain requires 5% CO2 for growth on minimal medium. In contrast to other cia mutants, cia5 fails to synthesize any of the components of the CO2 concentrating system, including the periplasmic carbonic anhydrase, when switched to an environment low in CO2. This is a mutation in the CCM1 gene, which has been identified as the "master regulator" of the carbon concentrating mechanism in Chlamydomonas.
Species:
Chlamydomonas

CIA5 [CCM1]
