In this study, we present the complete plastid genome of Cryptophyceae sp. CCMP2293. The circular genome is 139,208 bp in length and contains 142 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 30 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 6 ribosome RNA (rRNA) genes, and 1 transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA) gene. The overall nucleotide composition is: 33.6% A, 32.5% T, 16.8% C, and 17.1% G with a total A + T content of 66.1%. The phylogenetic tree was constructed to explore the taxonomic status of Cryptophyceae sp. CCMP2293, which is closely related to G. theta and R. salina.
