Labeo calbasu (Family Cyprinidae) was studied at DNA level to know genetic diversity within and between species. The mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt-b) gene of L. calbasu was sequenced and compared to the corresponding sequences of other Labeo species. DNA was isolated from the tissue sample of L. calbasu using phenol: chloroform extraction method. Forward and reverse primers were designed to amplify the target region of cytochrome b gene. A standard PCR protocol was used for the amplification of the desired region. Then, the forward and reverse sequences obtained were aligned and edited to finalize a length of 510 nucleotides which was submitted to NCBI genbank database. Nucleotide BLAST of this sequence at NCBI resulted 100% sequence similarity with L. calbasu sequence of the same region of cyt-b gene. Multiple sequence alignment of the sequence with seven more Labeo species sequences revealed 120 polymorphic sites, which have been mark of diversity among the species and might be used in molecular identification of the Labeo species. A constructed phylogenetic tree has shown relationship among the Labeo species. This research demonstrated the usefulness of mitochondrial DNA-based approach in species identification. Further, the data will provide appropriate background for studying genetic diversity within-species of the Labeo species in general and of L. calbasu in particular. J. Biodivers. Conserv. Bioresour.

The mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt-b) gene as a phylogenetic marker of lais fish Kryptopterus schilbeides from Kampar River in Riau has been studied. This is a prelimininary research on the utility of cyt-b gene as a molecular marker to obtain species diversity and phylogenetic relationship among Kryptopterus fishes from Kampar River. The primers of L14841 and H15149 were used to amplify the cyt-b gene. The results showed that K. schilbeides has isoleusine at site-81 and metionine at site-114; K. schilbeides from Kampar River and K. schilbeides from GenBank form a phylogeny cluster at 45% value.

Hartatik T, Hariyono DNH, Adinata Y. 2019. Genetic diversity and phylogenetic analysis of two Indonesian local cattle breeds based on cytochrome b gene sequences. Biodiversitas 20: 17-22. Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of two Indonesian local cattle breeds (Pasundan and Pacitan cattle) were investigated using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome b (cyt b) gene analysis. Partial sequences of cyt b gene, 404 bp in length, were determined for 21 individuals from the two breeds. Genetic diversity of the breeds was assessed based on the number of polymorphic sites, number of haplotypes, haplotype diversity, nucleotide diversity and average number of differences. In addition, a neighbour-joining (NJ) haplotype tree was constructed based on Kimura’s two-parameter model. Among the two breeds, haplotype and nucleotide diversity of Pacitan cattle were the highest with values of 0.3778 and 0.00099, respectively. In contrast, Pasundan cattle had the lowest value for haplotype (0.1818) and nucleotide (0.00045) diversity. Four haplotypes (Hap_16, Hap_17, Hap_18 and Hap_19) were found across the two breeds and around 85.71% of investigated individuals were classified as Hap_16. Phylogenetic analysis with the inclusion of the cyt b sequences from 39 cattle breeds from Genbank database, showed that Indonesian cattle made a separated lineage together with Bos javanicus, B. bison, and B. bonasus. Pasundan and Pacitan cattle were considered from the same lineage based on haplotype distribution as well as phylogenetic analysis. This study may help the future researchers and livestock breeders for designing a breeding program based on a better understanding of the genetic diversity and history of local breeds.

The study was conducted to adopt PCR based technique for identification of species origin from meat samples of cattle and buffalo using mitochondrial cytochrome b (Cyt b) gene fragment. A total of 42 ear tissue and meat samples were collected from different slaughterhouses and farms of Mymensingh, Bogra and Rangpur districts and stored in 96% ethanol at room temperature. Genomic DNA was extracted from all samples using GeNet Bio genomic DNA isolation kit. The average DNA yield of considered samples was found 204.57 ng/?l where the purity ranged from 1.82–1.99. Two (2) pair species-specific primers were used to amplify Cyt b gene fragments of 472 bp and 124 bp for cattle and buffalo, respectively. The PCR results revealed different species specific amplified fragments which could discriminate between cattle (472 bp) and buffalo (124 bp) species precisely from pure and mixed samples of those species. This study suggests an accurate molecular technique for identification of cattle and buffalo species meat origin and differentiates species present in adulterated meat samples. In conclusion, this DNA based technique could be utilized for prevention of malpractice in slaughterhouse and chain shops and thereby to protect consumer’s right.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res.

Abstract We describe the genetic and molecular analysis of the first non-Mendelian mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii resistant to myxothiazol, an inhibitor of the respiratory cytochrome bc1 complex. Using a set of seven oligonucleotide probes, restriction fragments containing the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) gene from C. reinhardtii were isolated from a mitochondrial DNA library. This gene is located adjacent to the gene for subunit 4 of the mitochondrial NADH-dehydrogenase (ND4), near one end of the 15.8-kb linear mitochondrial genome of C. reinhardtii. The algal cytochrome b apoprotein contains 381 amino-acid residues and exhibits a sequence similarity of about 59% with other plant cytochrome b proteins. The cyt b gene from four myxothiazol resistant mutants of C. reinhardtii was amplified for DNA sequence analysis. In comparison to the wild-type strain, all mutants contain an identical point mutation in the cyt b gene, leading to a change of a phenylalanine codon to a leucine codon at amino acid position 129 of the cytochrome b protein. Segregation analysis in tetrads from reciprocal crosses of mutants with wild type shows a strict uniparental inheritance of this mutation from the mating type minus parent (UP-). However, mitochondrial markers from both parents are recovered in vegetative diploids in variable proportions from one experiment to the next for a given cross. On the average, a strong bias is seen for markers inherited from the mating type minus parent.

The mitochondrial cytochrome b gene marker was used to investigate the genetic variability of G. pallida populations of different origins and selection on three sources of resistance. Aim. To sequence the mitochon- drial gene cyt-b and to clarify its application as a genetic marker for intraspecifi c genetic diversity study, phylogenetic analysis and nematode virulence assessment. Methods. The cysts of nematodes were used as a source for DNA extraction. Polymerase chain reaction was performed using the specifi c primers of INRAcytbL and INRAcytbR, followed by the amplifi ed product sequencing. The nucleotide sequences were processed and aligned using software PhredPhrap, CONSED and Clustal W. MEGA-4, DNADIST software package; while PHYLIP and Arlequin were used for statistical analysis. Phylogenetic trees construction and visualization were performed using the software package PHYLIP and TREEVIEW. Results. The phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences has showed that the Ukrainian populations of G. pallida were almost identical to other populations from the Europe. Limited genetic variability was observed between G. pallida populations distributed in the Europe and Ukraine, accounting for 82.3 per cent (P < 0.05) of the genetic variability inferred from the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene polymorphisms within the populations studied. G. pallida populations selected on three sources of resistance were similar but not identical indicat- ing that changes in mtDNA haploid type frequency had taken place as a result of the selection regime, but the marker used was not yet applicable for virulence monitoring. Conclusions. The obtained data prove the hypothesis that G. pallida populations in Ukraine are the result of the continuing spread of the species within the Europe and not the consequence of additional introduction from the South America.
