Abstract

The sequence of a 2782 bp fragment of the chloroplast genome of Chlorella ellipsoidea has been determined. The region includes the entire gene (rbcL) for the large subunit (LS) of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase and a sequence (rpoC-like) similar to part of the gene for the subunit of E. coli RNA polymerase which is oriented in same direction as rbcL. The arrangement is rpoC-like - 446 bp - rbcL. The rbcL gene codes for a polypeptide of 475 amino acids whose sequence shows 88% homology with those of tobacco and spinach, 94% homology with that of Chlamydomonas, and 85% homology with that of Anacystis. The putative rbcL promoter sequence has homology with E. coli promoter sequences and its putative terminator sequence is capable of forming a stem-and-loop structure.
