Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of brown alga Scytosiphon lomentaria (Ectocarpales, Phaeophyceae)

The present study provides a mitochondrial genome sequence of Scytosiphon lomentaria, which is better than the previously established data in China. This mitogenome is 39,971 bp in length and consists of 35 protein-coding genes, 3 ribosomal-RNA genes, 24 transfer-RNA genes, and 5 open reading frames...

Description
Summary:The present study provides a mitochondrial genome sequence of Scytosiphon lomentaria, which is better than the previously established data in China. This mitogenome is 39,971 bp in length and consists of 35 protein-coding genes, 3 ribosomal-RNA genes, 24 transfer-RNA genes, and 5 open reading frames. Overall, the base composition was as follows: A, 29.7%; C, 12.8%; G, 19.2%; and T, 38.4%. The phylogenetic analysis based on the protein-coding genes indicated that the S. lomentaria collected in the samples was at an earlier differentiation position. These results contribute to the further understanding of Phaeophyceae phylogenetic relationships and species identification.
