Table 1. Basic characteristics of the newly sequenced plastid genomes.
| T. minutus CCALA 838 | Ochromonas sp. CCMP1393 | |
|---|---|---|
| Size (bp) | 120,090 | 126,750 |
| Inverted repeat (bp) | 9,412/ 9,411 | 22,910 |
| Small single-copy region (bp) | 45,210 | 805 |
| Large single-copy region (bp) | 56,060 | 80,130 |
| Total GC content (%) | 34.0 | 30.9 |
| Gene content (total) | 163 | 154 |
| Identified protein-coding genes | 129 | 121 |
| Unknown or hypothetical ORFs | 3 | 5 |
| rRNA genes | 3 | 3 |
| tRNA genes | 28 | 25 |
The gene counts ignore the presence of duplicated genes in inverted repeats; the split clpC_A and clpC_B genes in Trachydiscus minutus are counted as two separate genes.
