Description and Significance
Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why you think it is important.
Genome Structure
Members of the Karenia family are eukaryotes, meaning their genome structure is linear. Of the Karenia family K. mikimotoi has the third largest genome being 53.4.1 ± 3.05 pg DNA/cell. Of the sequenced DNA of K. mikimotoi one chromosome is considered the AG-chromosome due to the amount of arginine and guanine it contains. It was also found that K. mikimotoi contains numerous sections of recombinant DNA and nucleolar organizer regions.
