Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the mangrove killifish ( Kryptolebias hermaphroditus ). The genome sequence was 17, 487 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical with those of the congeneric species ( K. marmoratus ) in the genus Kryptolebias with emphasis on the second control region (795 bp). Of 13 protein-coding genes (PGCs), 5 genes ( ND2, CO2, CO3, ND3, and Cytb ) had incomplete stop codons as shown in K. marmoratus . Furthermore, the stop codon of ND6 gene was AGG, while the start codon of CO1 gene was GTG. The base composition of K. hermaphroditus mitogenome showed an anti-G bias (13.45% and 8.19%) on the second and third position of the protein-coding genes (PCGs), respectively.
