Abstract

<abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <p>We describe the first complete mitochondrial genome of <italic>Gelidium vagum</italic> (Gelidiales) (24, 901 bp, 30.4% GC content), an agar-producing red alga. The circular mitochondrial genome contains 43 genes, including 23 protein-coding, 18 tRNA and 2 rRNA genes. All the protein-coding genes have a typical ATG start codon. No introns were found. Two genes, <italic>secY</italic> and <italic>rps12, </italic> were overlapped by 41 bp.</p> </abstract>
