Abstract
The complete mitochondrial sequence (37 657 bp) of the Saccharina sp. ye-C6 was obtained from the assembled and annotated genome data sequenced by Illumina sequencing technology (KT271760). The circular genome contains 38 protein-coding genes (PCG), three ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and 25 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. Base composition of genome is A (28.41%), T (36.29%), C (14.72%), and G (20.58%). Through a phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial genomes of brown algae, we found that Saccharina sp. ye-C6 and Saccharina japonica are the most closely related species and strongly supports their close phylogenetic affinity.
