Abstract

<abstract> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <italic>Lamprotula tortuosa</italic> is the endemic species of freshwater pearl mussel in China. The complete F-type mitochondrial genome of <italic>L. tortuosa</italic> was first determined. This circle genome (15, 722 bp in size) comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, except for <italic>COI</italic>, <italic>CYTB</italic>, <italic>ND6</italic>, and <italic>ND4L</italic>, with TTG, ATT, ATT, and ATA start codon, respectively; the remaining protein-coding genes initiated with the orthodox ATG start codon. There were 25 noncoding regions found throughout the mitogenome of <italic>L. tortuosa</italic>, ranging in size from 1 to 241 bp, the largest of which is between ND5 and tRNA^Gln (241 bp), but is shorter than the control region sequences(about 280 bp) of freshwater mussels from Poland and South Korea.</p> </abstract>
