The thraustochytrium mitochondrial code (translation table 23) is a genetic code found in the mitochondria of labyrinthulid Thraustochytrium aureum. The mitochondrial genome was sequenced by the Organelle Genome Megasequencing Program.

Differences from the standard code
It is the similar to the bacterial code (translation table 11) but it contains an additional stop codon (TTA) and also has a different set of start codons.
