Mitogenome sequence of a Black Sea isolate of the kinetoplastid Bodo saltans

摘要

We obtained the mitogenome sequence of a Black Sea isolate of the kinetoplastid Bodo saltans. This sequence consists of two contigs totaling 24,925 bp and encodes ten protein-coding genes, one conserved ORF and one rRNA gene. Alignment of the Black Sea mitogenome with the limited sequence data currently available in public databases for another strain of B. saltans revealed significant genetic divergence between the two isolates. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic inference clearly resolved the Bodonidae from the Trypanosomatidae.
