The complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of two higher termites were reconstructed from the metagenomes of individual gut compartments with more than 2000-fold coverage. The circular mitogenomes of (accession number KY436201) and (accession number KY436202) have a length of 15,935 and 15,868 bp and an overall G + C content of 30.7 mol% and 33.7 mol%, respectively, and both have an asymmetric nucleotide composition. Genome structure and orientation are the same as in other termites and in the ancestral insect mitogenome. These data further expand arthropod mitogenome databases, which have become an important resource in ecological, phylogenetic and evolutionary studies.
从个体肠道不同部分的宏基因组中重建了两种高等白蚁的完整线粒体基因组（线粒体基因组），覆盖度超过2000倍。（登录号KY436201）和（登录号KY436202）的环状线粒体基因组长度分别为15,935和15,868 bp，总体G + C含量分别为30.7 mol%和33.7 mol%，两者均具有不对称的核苷酸组成。基因组结构和方向与其他白蚁以及原始昆虫线粒体基因组相同。这些数据进一步扩展了节肢动物线粒体基因组数据库，该数据库已成为生态、系统发育和进化研究的重要资源。
