“…Mitochondrial DNA has been one of the most useful tools that are widely used in species identification, phylogenetic studies [22], comparative genomics [23], and management of invasive alien species [24]. Xenostrobus securis, L. fortunei, and Mytilus galloprovincialis and etc., are regarded as notorious invasive species which have caused dramatic and devastating effects on ecosystems [25,26]. However, the complete mitochondrial genome of X. securis is still unknown.…”

Background Mytilidae, also known as marine mussels, are widely distributed in the oceans worldwide. Members of Mytilidae show a tremendous range of ecological adaptions, from the species distributed in freshwater to those that inhabit in deep-sea. Mitochondria play an important role in energy metabolism, which might contribute to the adaptation of Mytilidae to different environments. In addition, some bivalve species are thought to lack the mitochondrial protein-coding gene ATP synthase F0 subunit 8. Increasing studies indicated that the absence of atp8 may be caused by annotation difficulties for atp8 gene is characterized by highly divergent, variable length. Results In this study, the complete mitochondrial genomes of three marine mussels (Xenostrobus securis, Bathymodiolus puteoserpentis, Gigantidas vrijenhoeki) were newly assembled, with the lengths of 14,972 bp, 20,482, and 17,786 bp, respectively. We annotated atp8 in the sequences that we assembled and the sequences lacking atp8. The newly annotated atp8 sequences all have one predicted transmembrane domain, a similar hydropathy profile, as well as the C-terminal region with positively charged amino acids. Furthermore, we reconstructed the phylogenetic trees and performed positive selection analysis. The results showed that the deep-sea bathymodiolines experienced more relaxed evolutionary constraints. And signatures of positive selection were detected in nad4 of Limnoperna fortunei, which may contribute to the survival and/or thriving of this species in freshwater. Conclusions Our analysis supported that atp8 may not be missing in the Mytilidae. And our results provided evidence that the mitochondrial genes may contribute to the adaptation of Mytilidae to different environments.

“…In addition, mussels are distributed in freshwater and even in deep seas (Fig. 1), where they often dominate their communities (de Paula et al 2020;Laming et al 2018;Lee et al 2019). However, many mussel species are notoriously invasive, expanding their distributions to non-native areas (Pickett and David 2018;Rajagopal et al 2006).…”

“…However, many mussel species are notoriously invasive, expanding their distributions to non-native areas (Pickett and David 2018;Rajagopal et al 2006). Some species are major biofoulers, clustering on the hulls of vessels, and invade man-made underwater structures (Amini et al 2017;de Paula et al 2020). These unique capacities of mussels derive largely from their ability to attach to underwater surfaces using the proteinous holdfast called the byssus, which is tough, durable, and resistant to chemical and enzymatic degradation (Waite 2017).…”

Mussel biology: from the byssus to ecology and physiology, including microplastic ingestion and deep-sea adaptations

Mussels are a group of bivalves that includes the dominant species of shallow-sea, freshwater, and deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems. Mussels cling to various solid underwater surfaces using a proteinaceous thread, called the byssus, which is central to their ecology, physiology, and evolution. Mussels cluster using their byssi to form “mussel beds,” thereby increasing their biomass per unit of habitat area, and also creating habitats for other organisms. Clustered mussels actively filter feed to obtain nutrients, but also ingest pollutants and suspended particles; thus, mussels are good subjects for pollution analyses, especially for microplastic pollution. The byssus also facilitates invasiveness, allowing mussels to hitchhike on ships, and to utilize other man-made structures, including quay walls and power plant inlets, which are less attractive to native species. Physiologically, mussels have adapted to environmental stressors associated with a sessile lifestyle. Osmotic adaptation is especially important for life in intertidal zones, and taurine is a major component of that adaptation. Taurine accumulation systems have also been modified to adapt to sulfide-rich environments near deep-sea hydrothermal vents. The byssus may have also enabled access to vent environments, allowing mussels to attach to “evolutionary stepping stones” and also to vent chimneys.

“…The golden mussel L. fortunei attracts the full attention of scientists and stakeholders as an invasive species rapidly spreading in South America, Japan, and Hong Kong, and causing large economic and environmental impacts (Morton, 1973(Morton, , 2015Pessotto & Nogueira, 2018;Ricciardi, 1998). Although a number of molecular studies were already focused on this species, including the whole genome sequencing (De Paula et al, 2020;Uliano-Silva et al, 2018), any DNA sequence data on its populations from the Mekong Basin were not available. It was thought that the genus Limnoperna mostly contains brackish and marine taxa but one freshwater species, L. fortunei, which is widespread from the Mekong Basin to China (Beu, 2006;Graf, 2013;Morton, 1973Morton, , 2015Morton & Dinesen, 2010;Morton et al, 2020 .…”
