Abstract

Neorhodomela munita (Perestenko) Masuda 1982 is distributed in the coastal areas of Shandong and Liaoning in China, and also in Japan. In this study, the complete nucleotide sequence of the circular mitochondrial DNA of the red alga Neorhodomela munita has been determined. The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of Neorhodomela munita was 25,318 bp in length with an overall GC content of 25.1% and encoded 23 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs and 24 transfer RNAs. Phylogenetic tree showed that Neorhodomela munita clustered together with Choreocolax polysiphoniae. The phylogenetic analysis may provide a better understanding of the evolution of the Rhodophyta species.
