Complete mitochondrial genome and draft chloroplastic genome of Haslea ostrearia (Simonsen 1974)

Abstract

The first completed, circular mitochondrial genome and the first draft, linear chloroplastic genome of the blue diatom Haslea ostrearia (Simonsen , Naviculaceae, Bacillariophyceae) were assembled from Illumina and PacBio sequencing. The mitochondrial genome was composed of 38,696 bases and contained 64 genes, including 31 protein-coding genes (CDS), 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and 23 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. For the chloroplast, the genome was composed of 130,200 bases with 169 genes (131 CDS, 6 rRNA genes, 31 tRNA genes, and 1 transfer messenger RNA gene). Phylogenetic trees, using the maximum-likehood method and partial genes currently available for Haslea ostrearia and other diatom species, suggested the proximity of all the Haslea ostrearia strains/isolates and the possibility of using these genomes as future references.
