Abstract

The marine red alga, , is economically significant for its agar production and pharmacologically active compounds. This study reveals its complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome), sequenced using Illumina's next-generation technology. The mitogenome is a 25,909 bp circular molecule with a G + C content of 27.21%, comprising 24 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 24 transfer RNA genes, and one open reading frame (ORF) with an unidentified function. Both gene structure and composition are highly conserved within . The phylogenetic analyses fully support a close relationship of with other species, as well as its sister relationship with . This mitogenome sequencing effort of provides crucial data for future phylogenetic research on marine red algae.
