We have determined the second mitochondrial genome of Alphitobius diaperinus Panzer, 1797 collected in Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea. The circular mitogenome of A. diaperinus is 15,512 bp long which is slightly longer than that of the previous mitogenome of A. diaperinus. It includes 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNAs. The base composition was AT-biased (72.4%). Intraspecific variation between two mitogenome of A. diaperinus was investigated: one SNP and one INDEL were identified, presenting the low level of intraspecific variations on mitochondrial genome.
Alphitobius diaperinus
Panzer, 1797 is a major pest in poultry production and easily observed in poultry litter. We have determined mitochondrial genome of
A. diaperinus
collected in Chungcheongbuk-do, Republic of Korea. The circular mitogenome of
A. diaperinus
is 15,511 bp long which is longer than that of
Z. atratus
but shorter than that of
T. obscurus
. It includes 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNAs. The base composition was AT-biased (72.4%). Phylogenetic tree displays that tribe Alphitobiini is clustered with tribes Helopini and Diaperini with enough supportive values of three phylogenetic trees.
We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of
Aclees taiwanensis
collected in Korea. The circular mitogenome of
A. taiwanensis
is 17,435 bp, longer than that of
Aclees cribratus
, and includes 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region/D-loop. The AT ratio is 75.4%. Maximum-likelihood and Bayesian inference phylogenetic trees showed that
A. taiwanensis
was clustered with
A. cribratus
with full-support values for both trees.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
