Mitochondrial genome sequence of the protist Ancyromonas sigmoides Kent, 1881 (Ancyromonadida) from the Sugluk Inlet, Hudson Strait, Nunavik, Quebec.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There is little information on evolutionarily ancient eukaryotes, which are often referred to as basal eukaryotes, in Arctic waters. Despite earlier studies being conducted in the Russian White Sea, only few have been reported.

Methods

Following a shotgun sequence survey of diatom cultures from Sugluk Inlet off the Hudson Strait in Northern Québec, we obtained the complete mitochondrial genome and the operon of nuclear ribosomal RNA genes from a strain that matches that of Ancyromonas sigmoides (Kent, 1881).

Results

The sequence of the mitogenome retrieved was 41,889 bp in length and encoded 38 protein-coding genes, 5 non-conserved open-reading frames, and 2 rRNA and 24 tRNA genes. The mitogenome has retained sdh2 and sdh3, two genes
