In addition, red algal mtDNA can provide useful genetic information as a genetic reservoir for bioengineering.īullerwell CE, Gray MW (2004) Evolution of the mitochondrial genome: protist connections to animals, fungi and plants. tenera mtDNA include the complete sequence of red algal mtDNA for investigating mtDNA evolution and developing molecular markers for species identification. tenera had four major structural changes in two gene loss/rearrangement regions and two different patterns of exon, intron, and intronic ORFs ( rnl and cox1). In comparison with other Porphyra and Pyropia species, Py. Moreover, four conserved open reading frames (ORFs) and six intronic ORFs (three in rnl and three in the cox1 gene) were also identified. Pyropia tenera mtDNA had a larger size (42,268 bp) than the mtDNA sequences of Porphyra and Pyropia reported previously, and encoded two ribosomal RNA genes, 24 transfer RNAs, four ribosomal proteins, and 17 genes involved in electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation. We determined the complete mitochondrial genome (mtDNA, mitogenome) of Pyropia tenera (Bangiales, Rhodophyta).
