Popis: The marine red alga, Gracilaria eucheumatoides, is economically significant for its agar production and pharmacologically active compounds. This study reveals its complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome), sequenced using Illumina’s next-generation technology. The mitogenome is a 25,909 bp circular molecule with a G + C content of 27.21%, comprising 24 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 24 transfer RNA genes, and one open reading frame (ORF) with an unidentified function. Both gene structure and composition are highly conserved within Gracilaria. The phylogenetic analyses fully support a close relationship of G. eucheumatoides with other Gracilaria species, as well as its sister relationship with G. urvillei. This mitogenome sequencing effort of G. eucheumatoides provides crucial data for future phylogenetic research on marine red algae.
