Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the white grouper Epinephelus aeneus, which belongs to the family Serranidae, was determined. The complete mitochondrial genome measured 16,578 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region. The mitochondrial gene arrangement of E. aeneus was typical of vertebrates. Phylogenetic analysis conducted using the mitochondrial genomes of 13 related species showed that E. aeneus clustered with other Serranidae species. This mitochondrial genome provides an important resource for addressing taxonomic issues and developing conservation strategies.

摘要

确定了属于石斑鱼科的白色石斑鱼埃尼夫石斑鱼的完整线粒体基因组。完整的线粒体基因组长16578 bp，由13个蛋白质编码基因，22个tRNA基因，2个rRNA基因和一个控制区组成。大肠杆菌的线粒体基因排列是脊椎动物的典型特征。使用13个相关物种的线粒体基因组进行的系统发育分析表明，埃尼埃斯埃努伊斯与其他Serranidae物种聚集在一起。该线粒体基因组为解决分类学问题和制定保护策略提供了重要资源。
