Abstract

Here, we present the first complete mitochondrial genome of the pentastomid Linguatula arctica collected from the nasal passages of a reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) in Norway. The full length mitochondrial genome of L. arctica, which measures 14,789 bp in length, contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes. A clear A + T bias is observed in the mitogenome of L. arctica with an overall base composition of 32.6% A, 27.5% T, 32.8% C, and 7,1% G., and a GC content of 39.9%. The gene arrangement is identical to that of previously described pentastomid mitogenomes.

摘要

在这里，我们介绍了从挪威驯鹿（Rangifer tarandus）的鼻腔收集的五足动物Linguatula arctica的第一个完整的线粒体基因组。L. arctica的全长线粒体基因组长14789 bp，包含13个蛋白质编码基因，2个核糖体RNA基因和22个转移RNA基因。在L. arctica的有丝分裂基因组中观察到明显的A + T偏向，总碱基组成为32.6％A，27.5％T，32.8％C和7.1％G.，GC含量为39.9％。该基因安排与先前描述的戊糖酰胺有丝分裂基因组相同。
