Abstract excerpt
The acetate-requiring Chlamydomonas reinhardtii nuclear mutant F16 harbors the mutation mcd1-1 and fails to accumulate the cytochrome b6/f complex. The primary defect of mcd1-1 was determined to be the instability of petD mRNA, which encodes subunit IV of the complex. Chimeric reporter genes intr...
