Abstract:
In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Chaetoceros muellerii was sequenced by using PacBio sequencing platform. The chloroplast genome was 116,284 bp in length, harboring a large single copy (LSC) region of 61,946 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 39,308 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 7515 bp. The overall GC content was 30.86%. The chloroplast genome of C. muellerii contained 131 genes in total, including 95 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and 6 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that C. muellerii was closely related to Chaetoceros simplex with 100% bootstrap values. This study will contribute to the phylogenetic and taxonomic analysis of species in the family Chaetoceroceae.
