The Complete Plastid Genomes of Seven Sargassaceae Species and Their Phylogenetic Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Sargassum is one of the most important genera of the family Sargassaceae in brown algae and is used to produce carrageenan, mannitol, iodine, and other economic substances. Here, seven complete plastid genomes of Sargassum ilicifolium var. conduplicatum, S. graminifolium, S. phyllocystum, S. muticum, S. feldmannii, S. mcclurei, and S. henslowianum were assembled using next-generation sequencing. The sizes of the seven circular genomes ranged from 124,258 to 124,563 bp, with two inverted regions and the same set of plastid genes, including 139 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 28 transfer (t)RNAs, and 6 ribosomal (r)RNAs. Compared with the other five available plastid genomes of Fucales, 136 PCGs were conserved, with two common ones shared with Coccophora langsdorfii, and on
