Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mitochondrial genome. Schematic map of the C. reinhardtii mitochondrial genome. White boxes represent protein-coding genes: (cob) apocytochrome b of complex III; (nad1, 2, 4, 5 and 6) subunits of complex I; (cox1) subunit 1 of complex IV; (rtl) reverse transcriptase-like protein. The 3 tRNA genes are indicated with the one letter code (W, Q and M). The dark gray and light gray boxes correspond to the LSU (L1–L8) and SSU (S1–S4) RNAs fragments respectively. The bi-directional origin of transcription between nad5 and cox1 genes is represented by a dashed vertical line and two horizontal arrows. Telomeric regions are indicated by arrowheads.
