The complete mitochondrial genome of the Argentine red shrimp Pleoticus muelleri (Bate, 1888) (Crustacea, Decapoda, Solenoceridae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Argentine red shrimp, Pleoticus muelleri (Bate, 1888) was determined using the MiSeq platform. Its mitogenome (16,189 bp) encoded the canonical 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes. Start codons of all protein-coding genes were ATN except for ATP8, while incomplete stop codons (T–) were identified in six genes including COXI, COXII, COXIII, NAD3, NAD5, and NAD6. The mitogenome of P. muelleri showed highest sequence identity with Parapenaeopsis hardwickii (82%) and Solenocera crassicornis (81%). Phylogenetic analysis showed three shrimps in Solenoceridae including P. muelleri were grouped together from those in Penaeidae, which suggests taxonomic reexamination for those in those family.

“…All tRNAs were predicted to be a typical three folded clover-leaf structure, except tRNA Ser (Laslett and Canb€ ack 2008). The start codon was not determined at the COX1 region, similar to other crustacean Pleoticus muellerii (Kim et al 2018), the typical start codon (ATG) was initiated at six PCGs (COX2, ATP6, COX3, ND4, ND4L, and Cyt b). The incomplete stop codon (TA--/T--) were identified in five genes including COX1, COX2, ND5, ND4, and Cytb.…”
