The complete mitochondrial genome of the Violet-spotted reef lobster Enoplometopus debelius (Crustacea, Astacidea, Enoplometopidae)

초록

Abstract: Slipper The violet-spotted reef lobster Enoplometopus debelius Holthuis, 1983 (Decapoda, Astacidea, Enoplometopidae) is found in the tropical reef areas of the Indo-Pacific region, and also is a highly prized and very popular species in the aquarium trade industry. The complete mitochondrial genome of E. debelius has 15,641 base pairs consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and a control region of 746 bp. The base composition of E. debelius is 36.4 % A, 35.3 % T, 18.1 % C, 10.3 % G, and AT content with 71.7 %. The E. debelius mitogenome was identical to the typical gene arrangement and transcriptional polarity of Homarus americanus mitogenome, a representative of arthropod ground pattern. We here present the complete mitogenome sequence for E. debelius, first in the genus the superfamily Enoplometopoidea. Our result will provide a useful molecular resource for phylogeny of infraorder Astacidea/ order Decapoda.
