Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of Prototheca stagnorum (chlorellales: Chlorellaceae).

ABSTRACT: Prototheca stagnorum belongs to the genus Prototheca that are achloroplyllous algae with phylogenetic affinities to Chlorella sp. Microalgae of the genus Prototheca spp are associated with rare algal infections of invertebrates termed protothecosis. In this study, the complete nucleotide sequence of the circular mitochondrial (mt) DNA of the chlorophyte alga P. stagnorum has been determined (80,023 base-pairs, A + T content 13.77%). The genes identified encode three subunits of the cytochrome oxidase and apocytochrome b, eight subunits of the NADH dehydrogenase complex (nad1-7, nad4L), four ATPase subunits (atp1, atp4, atp6, atp8), three ribosomal RNAs (5 S (rrn5), small subunit (srn) and large subunit (lrn) RNA), 27 tRNAs, two succinate dehydrogenase and
