Draft Plastid and Mitochondrial Genome Sequences from Antarctic Alga Prasiola crispa

Draft Plastid and Mitochondrial Genome Sequences from Antarctic Alga Prasiola crispa

The organelle genomes of the Antarctic alga Prasiola crispa (Lightfoot) Kützing have been sequenced. The plastid and mitochondrial genomes have a total length of 196,502 bp and 89,819 bp, respectively. These genomes have 19 putative photosynthesis-related genes and 17 oxidative metabolism-related genes, respectively.

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Novel Sub-Antarctic Williamsia Species

Illumina MiSeq shotgun sequencing technology was used to sequence the genomes of two novel sub-Antarctic Williamsia species, designated strains 1135 and 1138. The estimated genome sizes for strains 1135 and 1138 are 5.99 Mb and 6.08 Mb, respectively. This genome sequence information will aid in understanding the lipid metabolic pathways of cold-tolerant Williamsia species.

Draft Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas pelagia CL-AP6, a Psychrotolerant Bacterium Isolated from Culture of Antarctic Green Alga Pyramimonas gelidicola

Pseudomonas pelagia CL-AP6, isolated from a culture of the Antarctic green alga Pyramimonas gelidicola, is a psychrotolerant bacterium. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this strain, which may provide insights into the mutualistic interaction between microalgae and bacteria in sea ice, as well as the cold adaptation mechanisms of bacteria.

Complete Plastid Genome Sequence of the Brown Alga Undaria pinnatifida

In this study, we fully sequenced the circular plastid genome of a brown alga, Undaria pinnatifida. The genome is 130,383 base pairs (bp) in size; it contains a large single-copy (LSC, 76,598 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 42,977 bp), separated by two inverted repeats (IRa and IRb: 5,404 bp). The genome contains 139 protein-coding, 28 tRNA, and 6 rRNA genes; none of these genes contai...
