CC-373 ac-u-c-2-21 mt+Locus: atpB, chloroplast genome
Source: Isolated by Hurley Shepherd in the Boynton/Gillham laboratory, obtained by mutagenesis with 5-fluorodeoxyuridine
Comment: ac-u-c-2-21 is a deletion mutation in the chloroplast atpB gene. CC-373 is a clean, non-reverting acetate-requiring mutant, and has been widely used as a recipient for chloroplast transformation experiments.
