Abstract:
The length of Lelecella limenitoides complete mitogenome was 15,203 bp and contained the typical gene arrangement, base composition, and codon usage found in other related species. The overall base composition exhibited obvious anti-G (7.5%) and AT bias (81.6%). The initiation codons of all PCGs were typical ATN (ATA/ATG/ATT), and the termination codons were TAA, TAG, or incomplete stop codon T-. All tRNAs could be folded into typical cloverleaf secondary structures, except tRNASer (AGN). Phylogenetic analysis showed that L. limenitoides was clustered with the clade of Sasakia, Euripus, and Apatura.
