From simple to supercomplex mitochondrial genomes of euglenozoan protists figure1

Description:

Summary[edit] Description: English: Figure 1. Schematic phylogenetic tree of representative genera of Euglenozoa depicting the organization of their mitochondrial genomes. The scheme is based on Adl et al.1 (2012). Different organization of their mitochondrial genomes (in blue) is shown for the three major lineages: Kinetoplastea (in red), Diplonemea (in purple), and Euglenida (in green). Whereas Euglenida possess an array of linear mitochondrial DNA molecules of variable length, Diplonemea and Kinetoplastida contain in their organelle circular DNA molecules in different arrangements. In Diplonemea, circular molecules of two sizes are non-catenated and supercoiled. The kinetoplast DNA of Eubodonida, Parabodonida, and Neobodonida is composed of numerous free, non-catenated relaxed or supercoiled DNA circles, whereas in Trypanosomatida it is constituted of thousands of relaxed circles, mutually interlocked into a single giant network composed of interlocked maxicircles and minicircles that together with proteins are packaged into a single compact disk.
