Abstract
Gracilaria chilensis is an economically important species of macroalgae. The plastid genome sequence of G. chilensis is 185,640 bp with a GC content of 29.34%. A total of 236 genes were determined, containing 203 protein-encoding genes, three rRNA genes, 30 tRNA genes, and one intron (with intronic ORF) inserted into the trnM gene. The gene content and structure of Gracilariaceae species were relatively well conserved. The phylogenetic analysis, based on the red algal plastid genomes, suggested that G. chilensis had a closer relationship with Gracilaria tenuistipitata var. liui in Gracilaria.
