The complete mitochondrial genome of Pericapritermes nitobei (Isoptera: Termitidae).


ABSTRACT: The complete circular mitochondrial genome of a higher termite Pericapritermes nitobei has a length of 15,224bp and encodes 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and a non-coding control region (D-loop). Protein coding genes (PCGs) in this circular mitogenome start with standard ATN initiation codons and end with complete termination codons TAN except for cox2 and nad5 genes with an incomplete stop codon T. The percentage of A and T (67.49%) is higher than that of G and C (32.51%). The phylogenetic tree revealed that mitogenomes of Pericapritermes formed one clade. The tree also revealed that Pericapritermes dolichocephalus and Pericapritermes latignathus constituted a sister group to P. nitobei. The date here provide a resource for genetics and evolution analysis within termites especially Pericapritermes genus.
