Flip-flop organization in the chloroplast genome ofCapsosiphon fulvescens(Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta)

To better understand organelle genome evolution of the ulvophycean green alga Capsosiphon fulvescens , we sequenced and characterized its complete chloroplast genome. The circular chloroplast genome was 111,561 bp in length with 31.3% GC content that contained 108 genes including 77 protein‐coding genes, two copies of rRNA operons, and 27 tRNA s. In this analysis, we found the two types of isoform, called heteroplasmy, were likely caused by a...
