Abstract excerpt
Two mutants affected in lipid metabolism of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were isolated by treating cells with ultraviolet light. Both mutants showed high chlorophyll fluorescent yields, as compared with parents, and were designated as hf-2 and hf-9 (for high fluorescence). hf-2 was shown to be defective in the synthesis of a chloroplast-specific lipid, sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol. hf-9 was shown to be defective...
