Figure 1

Complete mitochondrial genome maps for Dunaliella salina (middle), Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (inner), and Volvox carteri (outer). The mitochondrial genome of D. salina (this study) is 28.3 kb, that of C. reinhardtii (GenBank accession numbers EU306617-EU306623) ranges from 15.8-18.9 kb, depending on the presence of optional introns, and that of V. carteri (GenBank accession numbers EU760701 and GU084821) is ~35 kb. Note that the C. reinhardtii mtDNA is a linear molecule. Arrows within the coding regions denote transcriptional polarities. The small subunit and large subunit rRNA-coding regions are fragmented into modules. Transfer RNA-coding regions are designated by the single-letter abbreviation of the amino acid they specify. Purple asterisks denote the sites of palindromic repeat clusters (see Figure 5 for more details). Rtl codes for a putative reverse-transcriptase-like protein.
