Abstract

Abstract: Although most red algae produce agar and carrageenan, Gloiopeltis furcata produces funoran as polysaccharide component. In this study, the complete G. furcata mitochondrial genome was determined. It had a circular mapping molecular with the length of 25, 636 bp and contained 49 genes including 24 protein-coding, two rRNA, and 23 tRNA. Phylogenetic analysis showed that G . furcata was separated with the other polysaccharide-producing red algae. This is the first report of complete mitochondrial genome from funoran producing red algae.
