Abstract

Pyropia pulchra (Hollenberg) S.C. Lindstrom & Hughey is a foliose seaweed in Bangiales order distributed in North America. We assembled the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Pyropia pulchra (33,190 bp), and annotated 26 protein-coding genes, 24 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs. We analyzed a maximum likelihood tree using conserved 23 mitochondrial genes from Bangiales species. The mitochondrial phylogeny of Bangiales species shows a strong monophyletic relationship of genus Pyropia, and the taxonomic position of P. pulchra within the genus.

Keywords: Pyropia pulchra; mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analysis.
