Strikingly Bacteria-Like and Gene-Rich Mitochondrial Genomes throughout Jakobid Protists

The most bacteria-like mitochondrial genome known is that of the jakobid flagellate Reclinomonas americana NZ. This genome also encodes the largest known gene set among mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs), including the RNA subunit of RNase P (transfer RNA processing), a reduced form of transfer–messenger R...
