Notes:
Olig, oligonucleotide synthesized;
Seq, cassette sequenced;
Plasmid, plasmid used as transformation vehicle;
Chlamy, C. reinhardtii transformed, with growth on TAP medium;
Pho+, photosynthetic growth (wild-type rates +++,
lower rates indicated by fewer +, - is pho-);
Fluor. rise, variable fluorescence rise in the sub-micro second time scale;
Back Reaction, Charge recombination measured by decay of variable fluorescence
in the presence of DCMU;
2-elec. gate, kinetics of QA- oxidation after 1 or 2 flashes, showing binary pattern
(normal) or normal kinetics after 1 flash but no binary pattern (ambig);
NY, not yet completed.
