Abstract excerpt
Low starch mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were isolated after x-ray mutagenesis of wild-type strain 137C. The mutants accumulated 20-40% of the normal amount and displayed a 2-fold decrease of the total glycogen-primed soluble starch synthase activity. Three different mutant alleles of the...
