Abstract

The genus Acanthephyra mainly inhabits deep waters with the maximum depth exceeding 5000 m. It has a wide distribution, except in high latitude areas. Here, we report the mitochondrial genome of Acanthephyra sp. which was collected from the northeast of South China Sea. The genome is 16,205 bp in length with a 61.52% AT content. It contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis shows that the present species is closest to A. smithi and Oplophoroidea has a close relationship with Bresilioidea in Caridea.

棘皮纲属（Acanthephyra）（甲壳纲：Caridea：Oplophoroidea）的深海类拟线粒体的线粒体基因组

摘要

Acanthephyra属主要栖息于深水区，最大深度超过5000 m。除高纬度地区外，分布广泛。在这里，我们报告的线粒体基因组Acanthephyra SP。是从南海东北部收集的。基因组长度为16205 bp，AT含量为61.52％。它包含13个蛋白质编码基因（PCG），2个核糖体RNA基因和22个转移RNA基因。系统发育分析表明，目前的物种最接近史密斯圆线虫，Oplophoroidea与Caridea的Bresilioidea有密切的关系。
