Mutants

Description:

This strain was recovered from a cross between R118-26G mt+ and "wild-type" mt-. It has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since its isolation. The R118-26G photosynthesis-competent revertant was selected from the Rubisco rbcL-mRNA deficient 76-5EN nuclear mutant. When R118-26G mt+ was crossed with "wild-type" mt-, tetrad analysis indicated that R118-26G resulted from a nuclear-gene intergenic-suppressor mutation (S118-26G). Thus, S118-26G suppresses 76-5EN by restoring Rubisco holoenzyme expression.
