The complete chloroplast genome of the marine microalga Nitzschia dubiiformis.

Nitzschia dubiiformis Hust 1939 is a globally distributed species belonging to the family Bacillariaceae. This study reported the complete chloroplast genome sequences of N. dubiiformis. The genome of N. dubiiformis was 179,935 bp in length, consisting of 48,722 bp of large single copy, 103,427 bp of small single copy, and 13,893 bp of a pair of inverted repeat regions. It encoded 188 genes, including 151 protein-coding genes, 6 rRNA and 31 tRNA genes. The GC content of complete chloroplast genome was 30.4%. The phylogenomic analysis suggests that there is a close relationship between N. dubiiformis and N. traheaformis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
