The complete plastid genome of the brown alga Scytosiphon lomentaria (scytosiphonaceae, phaeophyceae)

Abstract

The complete plastid genome of Scytosiphon lomentaria was determined in this study. The circular genome was 139,208 bp in length with the GC content of 31.3%. It contained 137 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 27 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosome RNA (rRNA) genes. A phylogenetic analysis based on the plastid genomes of Phaeophyceae indicated that S. lomentaria is located in the Ectocarpales lineage, being closely related to Endarachne binghamiae.
