Phylogenomic analysis of the chloroplast genome of the green-tide forming macroalga Ulva intestinalis Linnaeus (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta).

ABSTRACT: Ulva intestinalis Linnaeus 1753 (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta) is a marine green macroalga that is distributed on coasts of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea in China. Here, the complete chloroplast genome of U. intestinalis was constructed and analyzed comparatively. The chloroplast genome of U. intestinalis is a 99,041-bp circular molecule that harbors a total of 112 genes including 71 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 26 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), three ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), three free-standing open reading frames (orfs) and nine intronic orfs, and ten introns in seven genes (atpA, infA, psbB, psbC, petB, rrnL, and rrnS). The maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenomic analysis shows that U. intestinalis f
