Pectinodesmus pectinatus is a green alga of commercial interest in sewage purification. Clarification of its organelle genomes is helpful for genetic manipulation, taxonomic revisions and evolutionary research. Here, de novo sequencing was used to determine chloroplast genome and mitochondrial genome of P. pectinatus strain F34. The chloroplast genome was composed of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 99,156 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 70,665 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) with a length of 13,494 bp each separated by LSC and SSC. The chloroplast genome contained 69 protein-coding genes, 25 transfer-RNA (tRNA) genes, 3 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The mitochondrial genome was 32,195 bp in length and consisted of 46 unique genes, including 16 protein-coding genes, 27 tRNA genes and 3 rRNA genes. The predominant mutations in organelle genomes were T/A to G/C transitions. Phylogenic analysis indicated P. pectinatus was a sister species to Tetradesmus obliquus and Hariotina sp. within the Pectinodesmus genus. In analysis with CGView Comparison Tool, P. pectinatus organelle genomes displayed the highest sequence similarity with that of T. obliquus. These findings advanced research on the taxonomy and phylogeny of Chlorophyceae algae and particularly revealed the role of P. pectinatus in microalgae evolution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
