The great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) is widely distributed in the world. Here, we report the complete mitogenome sequence of P. carbo, which was 18,995 bp long and composed of 15 protein-coding genes, 25 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 2 control regions. Most genes were located on H-strand except for 10 tRNAs and 2 ND6 genes. In protein-coding genes, ATG, ATC and GTG were used as initiation codons, and TAA, AGA, AGG and TAG were used as stop codons. The 25 tRNA genes ranged in size from 67 to 75 bp. And 12S and 16S rRNA were respectively 983 and 1517 bp. Except for a tRNA-Ala in P. carbo which was different from the tRNA-Lys annotated in P. chalconotus, both species of Phalacrocorax had the same order of other genes. In addition, a phylogenetic analysis may help us understand the evolutionary status of this widespread species better.
普通鸬鹚(Phalacrocorax carbo)在世界范围内广泛分布。在此,我们报道了普通鸬鹚的完整线粒体基因组序列,其长度为18,995 bp,由15个蛋白质编码基因、25个tRNA基因、2个rRNA基因和2个控制区组成。除了10个tRNA基因和2个ND6基因外,大多数基因位于重链上。在蛋白质编码基因中,ATG、ATC和GTG用作起始密码子,TAA、AGA、AGG和TAG用作终止密码子。25个tRNA基因的大小在67至75 bp之间。12S和16S rRNA分别为983和1517 bp。除了普通鸬鹚中的一个tRNA-Ala与白斑鸬鹚(Phalacrocorax chalconotus)中注释的tRNA-Lys不同外,鸬鹚属的这两个物种的其他基因顺序相同。此外,系统发育分析可能有助于我们更好地了解这个广泛分布物种的进化地位。
