Abstract

We present the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Rhodochorton tenue from San Juan Island, Washington. The chloroplast genome of R. tenue is 192,037 bp in length, contains 244 genes, and is similar in content to Acrochaetium secundatum. Rhodochorton tenue is genetically distinct from Rhodochorton purpureum from the North Atlantic Ocean.

Keywords: Rhodochorton purpureum; acrochaetiales; chloroplast genome; plastid; rbcL.
