Abstract:
Solenaia oleivora, belongs to Bivalvia, Unionidae, and Gonideinae, is a burrowing bivalve uniquely distributed in China. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of S. oleivora MG was sequenced and determined. The complete mitogenome of S. oleivora MG is 16,392 bp in total length, consist of 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and 2 rRNA genes. The overall base composition of the S. oleivora MG mitogenome is 36.90% A, 23.85% T, 27.09% C, and 12.16% G, respectively, exhibits a similar AT bias (60.75%) feature to other invertebrate bivalve mitogenomes. The phylogenetic analysis that S. oleivora MG clustered in genus Solenaia. This result provides useful data to the conservation and sustainable utilization of S. oleivora MG and other invertebrate mussels.
