Abstract
Two symmetrically located deletions of .apprx. 100 base pairs each were identified in chloroplast DNA of C. reinhardtii. Although present in a mutant strain that requires acetate for growth, both deletions are distinct from the nonphotosynthetic phenotype of this strain. These physical markers in the chloroplast genome and maternally inherited genetic markers showed strict cotransmission in reciprocal crosses. These results are consistent with the location of the well-characterized maternally inherited genetic markers in chloroplast DNA of C. reinhardtii.Keywords
