Abstract

Abstract: Diaphanosoma has been called "tropical Daphnia " for its strong ecological role in tropical freshwater as Daphnia in temperate waters. The present study sequenced and annotated the mitochondrial genome (MG) of Diaphanosoma dubium . The MG of Diaphanosoma dubium is 16, 362 bp in length, with typical metazoan gene composition. Phylogenetic analysis confirms an earlier finding that Neodiaphanosoma can be separated from Diaphanosoma as a subgenera. One unknown extra CDS region and different arrangement of tRNA were identified when this MG was compared to that of Daphnia magna . This is the first non-daphnia MG of Cladocera, and information on MG sequence and tRNA order provide valuable molecular data in understanding phylogeny of Diaphanosoma and Cladocera .
