In this study, we present the complete mitochondrial genome of the Bechstein's bat, . The mitogenome is 17,151 bp in length and is AT-rich with base composition A (27.8%), C (22%), G (16.1%), and T (34.1%). The mitogenome shows conserved gene content and order similar with other mammalian mitogenomes, being composed of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and one control region. The majority of genes are encoded on the H-Strand except for and 8 tRNAs as found in other bat species. The field identification of was confirmed by phylogenetic analyses using datasets comprising whole mitogenomes and . This mitogenome is a resource for future studies of bats and other mammals.
在本研究中，我们展示了贝希斯坦蝙蝠的完整线粒体基因组。该线粒体基因组长度为17,151bp，富含AT，碱基组成为A（27.8%）、C（22%）、G（16.1%）和T（34.1%）。该线粒体基因组显示出与其他哺乳动物线粒体基因组相似的保守基因内容和顺序，由13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA基因、22个转移RNA基因和一个控制区域组成。除了其他蝙蝠物种中发现的 和8个tRNA外，大多数基因在重链上编码。通过使用包含整个线粒体基因组和 的数据集进行系统发育分析，证实了 的野外鉴定。这个线粒体基因组是未来对 蝙蝠和其他哺乳动物研究的资源。
