Abstract

In 2015, a novel macroalgae began to bloom in Qinhuangdao on the coast of the Bohai Sea, Northern China. Bryopsis plumosa, a green macroalga, is one of the causal species of the macroalgae blooms, which have severely affected the environment and ecosystem on the coast of Qinhuangdao. In the present study, we sequenced the mitochondrial genome of B. plumosa for the first time (GenBank accession number MN853874). It was found that the ring-shaped genome was made up of 110,912 base pairs, including 29 protein-coding genes, 23 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis showed B. plumosa had close genetic relationships with algae Ulva prolifera, Ulva linza, and Ulva flexuosa. The present data will provide important information on the phylogenetics and molecular evolution of Bryopsis species.
