  1. Note: "--", data not available. Clades are defined by Nakada et al. [20].
  2. a Intronic open reading frames were not considered as coding DNA.
  3. b These data vary because of the presence/absence of optional introns.
  4. c These data are based on almost-complete genome sequences.
  5. d MtDNA consists of two fragments; data are based on the concatenation of these fragments.
  6. e These data are based on gel-electrophoresis and Southern-blot analyses.
  7. f The circular conformation of the V. carteri mtDNA is based on genome-assembly data [38] and needs to be confirmed by gel electrophoresis experiments.
  8. g This strain is formally known as Polytomella SAG 63-10.
