Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of F187.

is a genus of green algae that belongs to the family. There is little information available about this genus. A phylogenetic analysis of the ITS2 sequences showed that is a paraphyletic group. To better explore the phylogenetic status of this genus, we report the mitochondrial genome sequence of sp. F187 using next-generation sequencing technology. The complete mitochondrial genome is 52,888 bp in size and encodes 43 conventional mitochondrial genes, including 14 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 24 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and four ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Most of the PCGs (12/14) and all tRNAs were located in the heavy chain and the light chain, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis based on the complete mitochondrial genome sequences indicated that is closely related to . The sequenced complete mitochondrial genome of sp. F187 provides fundamental molecular data that will be useful for species identification, population genetics, and evolutionary relationships.
