Description:

Wild isolate of Chlamydomonas found actively mating in wet soil. This isolate is the mating partner to 403wt, strains appear to be isogamous and heterothallic like C. reinhardtii and mate reliably when following standard mating protocols. Strain has demonstrated tolerance to high pH (>10), grows better than C. reinhardtii in outdoor conditions, and is readily transformable. Grows on TAP or HSM. Grows on nitrate. Opposing mating partner to MUT-5699. No bands when probed with C. reinhardtii mating type primers. Initial tests suggest infertile with C. reinhardtii but not conclusive (only tested against MUT-124/125).
