Abstract

Breaking up is hard to do: the complexity of the dinoflagellate chloroplast genome

Highlights

  • Organization of the chloroplast genomeDinoflagellate algae are found in aquatic environments the world over

  • Twelve protein coding genes have been consistently found in peridinin-containing dinoflagellate chloroplasts: atpA, atpB, petB, petD, psaA, psaB, psbA, psbB, psbC, psbD, psbE, and psbI

  • No other protein coding genes of plastid origin have been conclusively demonstrated in any peridinin-containing dinoflagellate chloroplast

Summary

Introduction

Organization of the chloroplast genomeDinoflagellate algae are found in aquatic environments the world over. Unlike most other photosynthetic eukaryote species, the peridinin-containing dinoflagellates do not have a conventional chloroplast genome. Twelve protein coding genes have been consistently found in peridinin-containing dinoflagellate chloroplasts: atpA, atpB, petB, petD, psaA, psaB, psbA, psbB, psbC, psbD, psbE, and psbI.
