It was originally accessioned by SAG as "Lewin Caroline Islands strain" but its chloroplast DNA is indistinguishable from that of the standard laboratory strain of C. reinhardtii. Its distribution of the Gulliver transposon is also consistent with its being an isolate of the standard strain. This strain did not mate with his 137c or MUT-1373 11/86, whereas our tests showed good mating with MUT-125.
