title: Complete mitochondrial genome of Fistulifera solaris (Bacillariophycidae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial DNA of pennate diatom Fistulifera solaris was determined. The circular mitochondrial genome is 39 648 bp in length with 28.1% GC content and contains 63 genes, including 33 protein-coding genes, three conserved open reading frame (ORF154, ORF192 and ORF251), 25 tRNA and 2 rRNA genes. All protein-coding genes have AUG as start codon. A group I intron was found in nad11 gene. Both the gene content and the structure of Fistulifera solaris mitochondrial genome are very similar to Berkeleya fennica mitogenome (KM886611). Phylogeny analysis indicate F. solaris a close genetic relationship with Berkeleya fennica. This new mitogenome will provide more useful information for exploration in diatoms diversity and evolution.
