The complete mitochondrial genome of Tetraclita japonica (Crustacea: Maxillopoda: Sessilia) from Zhejiang (China) and phylogeny within Sessilia.

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of Tetraclita japonica (Crustacea: Maxillopoda: Sessilia) from Zhejiang (China) was presented (T. japonica ZJ). The genome is a circular molecule of 15,192 bp, all non-coding regions are 694 bp in length, and the longest one (307 bp) is located between 12S rRNA and trnK. Phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial PCGs shows that T. japonica ZJ clusters with T. japonica CN, and they grouped with T. japonica (BP = 100), then grouped with Tesseropora rosea, Tetraclita serrata, Tetraclita rufotincta, Epopella plicata, and Tetraclitella divisa successively . The phylogenetic tree indicated that the Balanidae and Archaeobalanidae are polyphyletic, while the Chthamalidae is monophyletic. The result can help us to understand the phylogenetic history within Sessilia.

Project description:BackgroundThe evolutionary history and relationships of the mud shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda: Gebiidea and Axiidea) are contentious, with previous attempts revealing mixed results. The mud shrimps were once classified in the infraorder Thalassinidea. Recent molecular phylogenetic analyses, however, suggest separation of the group into two individual infraorders, Gebiidea and Axiidea. Mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence and structure can be especially powerful in resolving higher systematic relationships that may offer new insights into the phylogeny of the mud shrimps and the other decapod infraorders, and test the hypothesis of dividing the mud shrimps into two infraorders.ResultsWe present the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of five mud shrimps, Austinogebia edulis, Upogebia major, Thalassina kelanang (Gebiidea), Nihonotrypaea thermophilus and Neaxius glyptocercus (Axiidea). All five genomes encode a standard set of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a putative control region. Except for T. kelanang, mud shrimp mitochondrial genomes exhibited rearrangements and novel patterns compared to the pancrustacean ground pattern. Each of the two Gebiidea species (A. edulis and U. major) and two Axiidea species (N. glyptocercus and N. thermophiles) share unique gene order specific to their infraorders and analyses further suggest these two derived gene orders have evolved independently. Phylogenetic analyses based on the concatenated nucleotide and amino acid sequences of 13 protein-coding genes indicate the possible polyphyly of mud shrimps, supporting the division of the group into two infraorders. However, the infraordinal relationships among the Gebiidea and Axiidea, and other reptants are poorly resolved. The inclusion of mt genome from more taxa, in particular the reptant infraorders Polychelida and Glypheidea is required in further analysis.ConclusionsPhylogenetic analyses on the mt genome sequences and the distinct gene orders provide further evidences for the divergence between the two mud shrimp infraorders, Gebiidea and Axiidea, corroborating previous molecular phylogeny and justifying their infraordinal status. Mitochondrial genome sequences appear to be promising markers for resolving phylogenetic issues concerning decapod crustaceans that warrant further investigations and our present study has also provided further information concerning the mt genome evolution of the Decapoda.
