Table 4. Total sizes of genes, coding sequences, and intergenic regions of C. austroafricana, C. cubensis, C. deuterocubensis and C. parasitica mt genomes.
The size of the intergenic region was calculated by subtracting the sum total of the 14 OXPHOS genes, tRNAs, rRNAs and rnpb from the mt genome size.
| Species | mt genome size (bp) | OXPHOS genes (including introns) | CS | Introns | Intergenic region | rRNA genes (without introns)+rnpb | tRNA genes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C. austroafricana | 190,834 | 85,888 (44.34%) | 93,848 (49.17%) | 72,468 (37.97%) | 48,854 (25.60%) | 36,228 (18.98%) | 2,083 (1.09%) |
| C. cubensis | 89,084 | 33,946 (38.11%) | 34,202 (38.39%) | 20,458 (22.96%) | 38,350 (43.05%) | 9,990 (11.21%) | 2,010 (2.26%) |
| C. deuterocubensis | 124,412 | 46,735 (37.56%) | 56,550 (45.45%) | 33,238 (26.72%) | 43,340 (34.84%) | 21,957 (17.65%) | 2,018 (1.62%) |
| C. parasitica | 158,902 | 77,248 (48.61%) | 76,752 (48.30%) | 63,373 (39.88%) | 41,930 (26.39%) | 26,345 (16.58%) | 1,937 (1.22%) |
