Deskripsi
We present the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Plakobranchus cf. ocellatus (Heterobranchia: Sacoglossa), a so-called ‘solar-powered’ sea slug with long-term retention of chloroplasts. The mitochondrial genome was 14,177 bp in length containing the standard set of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs. The base composition of 27.3% A, 15.6% C, 18.6% G, and 38.5% T showed a strong A + T bias. The genome organization of P. cf. ocellatus is identical to the other sacoglossan mitogenomes sequenced so far, except for Ascobulla fragilis.
