The complete mitochondrial genome of the economic red alga, .

is an economically important marine alga. In this study, we obtained complete mitogenome of by high-throughput sequencing, which was mapped as a circular molecule of 26,897 bp with 27.56% GC content and was identified 53 genes, including 25 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 26 tRNA genes, and 1 group II intron inserted into the gene. In addition, a 162-bp stable stem loop was found in intergenic regions, which was most likely associated with DNA transcription and replication. The Bayesian phylogenetic tree of Gracilariaceae revealed that and and shared a closer relationship than in the genus
