Complete mitochondrial genome of the freshwater red alga Lympha mucosa (Rhodophyta).

ABSTRACT: We present the complete mitochondrial genome of a newly described freshwater red alga Lympha mucosa. The genome was sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform. The circular mitochondrial genome is 25,191?bp, contains 46 genes (24 CDS, 20 tRNA, and 2 rRNA), and has an overall GC content of 27.5%. Phylogenetic analyses of the cox1 gene show the placement of Lympha mucosa within the strictly freshwater order Batrachospermales. The four mitochondrial genomes within the subclass Nemaliophycidae sequenced to date are highly conserved in terms of genome size, gene content, and gene synteny.
