Water flea has been widely used for risk assessments of chemicals and environmental contamination. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of this species NIES strain was determined using short-read high throughput and long-read sequencing technologies. The mitogenome of was 15,170 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs). The gene order was identical to the pattern conserved across crustaceans. The complete mitogenome of the NIES strain will serve as genetical reference in ecological risk assessments in Japan, as well as resources for future phylogenetical studies using cladocerans.
水蚤已被广泛用于化学品和环境污染的风险评估。在本研究中,利用短读长高通量测序技术和长读长测序技术确定了该物种日本国立环境研究所(NIES)菌株的完整线粒体基因组(线粒体基因组)。该菌株的线粒体基因组长度为15,170 bp,由13个蛋白质编码基因(PCG)、2个核糖体RNA(rRNA)和22个转移RNA(tRNA)组成。基因排列顺序与甲壳类动物中保守的模式相同。NIES菌株的完整线粒体基因组将作为日本生态风险评估的遗传参考,以及未来使用枝角类动物进行系统发育研究的资源。
