AbstractIn this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of O. gracilis was sequenced and assembled before being compared with related species. As the second largest mitogenome reported in the family Ophiocordycipitaceae, the mitogenome of O. gracilis (voucher OG201301) is a circular DNA molecule of 134,288 bp that contains numerous introns and longer intergenomic regions. UCA was detected as anticodon in tRNA-Sec of O. gracilis, while comparative mitogenome analysis of nine Ophiocordycipitaceae fungi indicated that the order and contents of PCGs and rRNA genes were considerably conserved and could descend from a common ancestor in Ophiocordycipitaceae. In addition, the expansion of mitochondrial organization, introns, gene length, and order of O. gracilis were determined to be similar to those of O. sinensis, which indicated common mechanisms underlying adaptive evolution in O. gracilis and O. sinensis. Based on the mitochondrial gene dataset (15 PCGs and 2 RNA genes), a close genetic relationship between O. gracilis and O. sinensis was revealed through phylogenetic analysis. This study is the first to investigate the molecular evolution, phylogenetic pattern, and genetic structure characteristics of mitogenome in O. gracilis. Based on the obtained results, the mitogenome of O. gracilis can increase understanding of the genetic diversity and evolution of cordycipitoid fungi.

AbstractDipetalonema gracile is a common parasite in squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus), which can cause malnutrition and progressive wasting of the host, and lead to death in the case of massive infection. This study aimed to identify a suspected D. gracile worm from a dead squirrel monkey by means of molecular biology, and to amplify its complete mitochondrial genome by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequence analysis. The results identified the worm as D. gracile, and the full length of its complete mitochondrial genome was 13,584 bp, which contained 22 tRNA genes, 12 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, one AT-rich region and one small non-coding region. The nucleotide composition included A (16.89%), G (20.19%), T (56.22%) and C (6.70%), among which A + T = 73.11%. The 12 protein-coding genes used TTG and ATT as start codons, and TAG and TAA as stop codons. Among the 22 tRNA genes, only trnS1AGN and trnS2UCN exhibited the TΨC-loop structure, while the other 20 tRNAs showed the TV-loop structure. The rrnL (986 bp) and rrnS (685 bp) genes were single-stranded and conserved in secondary structure. This study has enriched the mitochondrial gene database of Dipetalonema and laid a scientific basis for further study on classification, and genetic and evolutionary relationships of Dipetalonema nematodes.

The nearly complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Leuctra sp. (Plecoptera: Leuctridae) was sequenced. The 14,585-bp long mitogenome of L. sp. contained 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and a control region (CR). The mitochondrial gene arrangement of L. sp. was identical with other stoneflies and the putative ancestral mitogenome of Drosophila yakuba Burla. Most PCGs used standard ATN start codons and TAN termination codons. Twenty-one of the 22 tRNAs in each mitogenome exhibited the cloverleaf secondary structures, while the dihydrouridine (DHU) arm of trnSer (AGN) was reduced. Phylogenetic analyses using our new Leuctra sp. genome and all other publicly available genomes for Plecoptera and Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood methods (ML) generated identical topologies, both supporting the monophyly of all stonefly families for which tests were possible and the infraorder Systellognatha. Scopuridae and Gripopterygidae were grouped with the infraorder Euholognatha. The final relationships within Plecoptera were recovered as (((((Perlodidae + Chloroperlidae) + Perlidae) + Pteronarcyidae) + Peltoperlidae) + Styloperlidae) + (((((Capniidae + Taeniopterygidae) + Nemouridae) + Scopuridae) + Leuctridae) + Gripopterygidae).

The millipede Anaulaciulus koreanus (Verhoeff, 1937), belonging to the family Julidae, is an endemic species of the Korean fauna. In this study, we sequence and annotate the mitochondrial genome of A. koreanus. The complete mitochondrial genome of this species is 14,916 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes (16S and 12S rRNA), and a large non-coding region. The genome has a very high A+T content (71.1%), less than of the species Brachycybe lecontii Wood, 1864 (order Platydesmida; 76.6%) and Sphaerotheriidae sp. (order Sphaerotheriida; 71.2%). In comparison with the mitochondrial gene arrangement of eight other millipede species, the whole mitochondrial gene arrangement of A. koreanus is most similar to the nemasomatid species, Antrokoreana gracilipes Verhoeff, 1938, but differs from those of the other diplopod orders. The absence of tRNACys between the ND2 and COI regions is unique to the order Polydesmida, whereas the translocation of tRNATyr to between ND2 and COI is exclusive to the Sphaerotheriida. It is also shown that the translocation of tRNAThr between ND4L and ND1 may be a synapomorphy to support a close relationship of two orders Spirobolida and Spirostreptida.

To date, only one mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) in the Eumeninae has been reported in the world and this is the first report in China. The mitogenome ofO.a.aterrimusis 17 972 bp long, and contains 38 genes, including 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 23 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, a long non-coding region (NCR), and a control region (CR). The mitogenome has 79.43% A + T content, its 13 PCGs use ATN as the initiation codon except forcox1using TTG, and nine genes used complete translation termination TAA and four genes have incomplete stop codon T (cox2,cox3,nad4, andcytb). Twenty-two of 23 tRNAs can form the typical cloverleaf secondary structure except fortrnS1. The CR is 1 078 bp long with 84.69% A+T content, comprising 28 bp tandem repeat sequences and 13 bp T-strech. There are two gene rearrangements which are an extratrnM2located betweentrnQandnad2and thetrnL2in the upstream ofnad1. Within all rearrangements of these mitogenomes reported in the family Vespidae, the translocation betweentrnS1andtrnEgenes only appears in Vespinae, and the translocation oftrnYin Polistinae and Vespinae. The absent codons of 13 PCGs in Polistinae are more than those both in Vespinae and Eumeninae in the family Vespidae. The study reports the complete mitogenome ofO.a.aterrimus, compares the characteristics and construct phylogenetic relationships of the mitogenomes in the family Vespidae.

Of the roughly 400 species of Perlidae in the world, most species are widely distributed in the northern hemisphere, but a few can be found in South Africa and South America. There are only five species in the genus Flavoperla of the family Perlidae in China. To gain a better understanding of the architecture and evolution of mitochondrial genome in Flavoperla, the entire mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of a Chinese Flavoperla biocellata Chu, 1929 from family Perlidae (Insecta: Plecoptera) was sequenced. The 15,805-bp long mitochondrial genome of F. biocellata contained 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs) and a putative control region (CR). The gene arrangement of F. biocellata was identical with that of other stoneflies and with the fly Drosophila yakuba. Most PCGs of F. biocellata used the standard ATN start codons and complete TAN termination codons. Twenty-one of the 22 tRNA genes exhibited cloverleaf secondary structures, but the dihydrouridine (DHU) arm of trnSer (AGN) was completely reduced. Phylogenetic analyses with both Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood methods (ML) generated similar topology, both supporting the monophyly of all stonefly families and the infraorder Systellognatha. The phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genomic data from 30 stonefly species recovered a well-supported tree resolving higher-level relationships within Plecoptera. The northern hemisphere suborder Arctoperlaria divided into two groups, Euholognatha and Systellognatha. The southern hemisphere suborder Antarctoperlaria formed two clades: Eustheniidae+Diamphipnoidae and Austroperlidae+ Gripopterygidae; consistent with relationships proposed based on morphology. The final relationships within Plecoptera were recovered as (((Perlidae+(Perlodidae+Chloroperlidae))+(Pteronarcyidae+(Peltoperlidae+Styloperlidae))) +(Taeniopterygidae+(Capniidae+(Nemouridae+Notonemouridae))))+ (Gripopterygoidae+Eusthenioidae).

Azygia hwangtsiyui (Trematoda, Azygiidae), a neglected parasite of predatory fishes, is little-known in terms of its molecular epidemiology, population ecology and phylogenetic study. In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of A. hwangtsiyui was sequenced and characterized: it is a 13,973 bp circular DNA molecule and encodes 36 genes (12 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes) as well as two non-coding regions. The A+T content of the A. hwangtsiyui mitogenome is 59.6% and displays a remarkable bias in nucleotide composition with a negative AT skew (–0.437) and a positive GC skew (0.408). Phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated amino acid sequences of twelve protein-coding genes reveals that A. hwangtsiyui is placed in a separate clade, suggesting that it has no close relationship with any other trematode family. This is the first characterization of the A. hwangtsiyui mitogenome, and the first reported mitogenome of the family Azygiidae. These novel datasets of the A. hwangtsiyui mt genome represent a meaningful resource for the development of mitochondrial markers for the identification, diagnostics, taxonomy, homology and phylogenetic relationships of trematodes.

Abstract To explore the characteristics of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the squeaking silkmoths Rhodinia, a genus of wild silkmoths in the family Saturniidae of Lepidoptera, and reveal phylogenetic relationships, the mitogenome of Rhodinia fugax Butler was determined. This wild silkmoth spins a green cocoon that has potential significance in sericulture, and exhibits a unique feature that its larvae can squeak loudly when touched. The mitogenome of R. fugax is a circular molecule of 15,334 bp long and comprises 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and an A + T-rich region, consistent with previous observations of Saturniidae species. The 370-bp A + T-rich region of R. fugax contains no tandem repeat elements and harbors several features common to the Bombycidea insects, but microsatellite AT repeat sequence preceded by the ATTTA motif is not present. Mitogenome-based phylogenetic analysis shows that R. fugax belongs to Attacini, instead of Saturniini. This study presents the first mitogenome for Rhodinia genus.

Abstract Figulus binodulus Waterhouse is a small stag beetle distributed in East Asia. We determined the first mitochondrial genome of F. binodulus of which is 16,261-bp long including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and a single large noncoding region of 1,717 bp. Gene order of F. binodulus is identical to the ancestral insect mitochondrial gene order as in most other stag beetle species. All of 22 tRNAs could be shaped into typical clover-leaf structure except trnSer1. Comparative analyses of 21 Lucanidae mitochondrial genomes was conducted in aspect of their length and AT-GC ratio. Nucleotide diversities analyses provide that cox1 and cox2 in Lucanidae are less diverse than those of Scarabaeoidea. Fifty simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified on F. binodulus mitochondrial genome. Comparative analysis of SSRs among five mitochondrial genomes displayed similar trend along with SSR types. Figulus binodulus was sister to all other available family Lucanidae species in the phylogenetic tree.

AbstractThe Gayal is a large-sized endangered semi-domesticated bovine species belonging to the family Bovidae, tribe Bovini, group Bovina, genus Bos, and species Bos frontalis. It is also called the Mithan or Mithun. Mitochondrial genome is considered as an important tool for species identification and monitoring the populations of conservation concern and therefore it becomes an obligation to sequence the mitochondrial genome of Bagladeshi gayal. We want to identify some important genes related to a particular trait such as those associated with adaptation, muscle strength, or prolificacy. The data will help explore evolutionary relationships with closely related species. The mitogenome of Bos frontalis is 16,347 bp in length and nucleotide composition is AT-based (60.21%), contains 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region.

Abstract Background: Complete mitochondrial genome of Bos frontalis will aid in the investigation of evolutionary links between closely related species. Bos frontalis mitogenome contains 37 genes and a control region. We discover the first complete mitogenome of Bos frontalis found in Bangladesh which was obtained from whole-genome sequencing of Bos frontalis.Results: Bos frontalis mitogenome is 16,347 bp long, with an AT-based nucleotide composition (60.21%). It contains 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and a control region (D-loop). This circular genome starts with ND6(negative strand) and ends at ND5(positive strand). Protein coding genes lost 24 bases and tRNA genes gained 27 bases compared to closely related species. Phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial genome of 26 closely related species from 8 congeneric species was conducted by the maximum likelihood method with 1000 bootstrap iteration.Conclusion: Our studied Bos frontalis mitochondrial genome has a similar gene arrangement compared with other Bos species. It has almost the same amount of AT and GC content, but notably the ND6 gene lacks AT skew and GC skew than that of the other two comparing species. PCG’s loss in size might be a continuous process of evolution. The mitochondrial genome is regarded as a critical tool for species identification and monitoring populations of conservation concern.
