Abstract: "[Investigators] elucidated the effects of substituting seven amino acids for Ala at residue 251 of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii D1 protein on herbicide resistance and photoautotrophic growth...Sensitive and rapid microtiter assays were employed to compare herbicide resistance and photoautotrophic growth in the various mutants." P.656 left column 3rd paragraph: "Mutant and wildtype strains were grown photoautotrophically in HS (high salt) medium or mixotrophically in HSHA (high salt high acetate) medium for physiological experiments as described by Lers et al. (1992). Photoautotrophic cultures were incubated under VLL (very low light, 33 µmol/m^2/s), LL (low light, 70 µmol/m^2/s), and HL (high light, 600 µmol/m^2/s). Media were prepared as described in Harris (1989) except that the phosphate stock solution was autoclaved separately and added to cool sterile medium to avoid cloudy precipitates that interfere with A 750 measurements. For spot tests and strain maintenance (1.5% w/v) agar solidified media (HS, HSHA) were used at 25˚C in VLL, LL, or HL. Antibiotics and herbicides were added from concentrated stock solutions (in ethanol) to the liquid or solid media after autoclaving." |

P.657 left column bottom paragraph: "Herbicide resistance and cross resistance were determined in microtiter growth assays based on A750 reached at the end of the exponential growth phase (approximately 55 h for CC-125, A251A* and 60 h for A 251I*, A251V*, A 251L *, dr-1)." |
