Characterization of the chloroplast genome of Chlorolobion braunii ITBB-AG6 isolated from a treatment pond of sanitary sewage.

ABSTRACT: Sphaeropleales is an order of fast-growing microalgae with high oil content and high efficiency in sewage treatment, in which photosynthesis plays a critical role. We isolated a strain of Sphaeropleales, Chlorolobion braunii ITBB-AG6 from an azolla community in a sewage pond, and sequenced its chloroplast genome. The complete genome has a length of 154 kb with a GC content of 31.7%. A total of 89 genes were annotated, including 56 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and three rRNA genes. Out of the protein coding genes, 64.3% are involved in photosynthesis, 28.6% are involved in protein synthesis, and 7.1% are involved in ATP synthesis. Transfer RNA genes for 20 amino acids were identified, in which tRNA genes for methionine, leucine, and arginine are tripled, whereas tRNA genes fo
