Abstract excerpt
The cytochrome c550-deficient mutant (psbV-disruptant) of Synechocystis requires a high concentration of Cl(-) in the culture medium to support photosynthetic oxygen evolution. From this disruptant, we isolated spontaneous suppressor mutants that are able to grow photoautotrophically in the absence of Cl(-). Three independent mutations were identified: one was a deletion in slr0753 and two were a transposition of...
