Complete mitochondrial genome of the Korean endemic earthworm Amynthas bubonis (Clitellata: Megascolecidae): mitogenome characterization and phylogenetic positioning

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

Abstract

Amynthas bubonis Hong & James, 2001 is an earthworm species endemic to Korea. This species is typically found in mountainous forests at low altitudes. Specimens were collected from Mt. Deogyu in South Korea, and the complete A. bubonis mitogenome was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. The A. bubonic mitogenome is a 15,095 bp circular DNA molecule with 64.85% A + T content. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 non-coding region (control region). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. bubonis clustered with A. jiriensis, A. yunoshimensis, and M. hilgendorfi in the well-supported Megascolecidae family.
