Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The complete is mitochondrial genome of the Japanese bumblebee Bombus hypocrita sapporensis from Hokkaido Island, Japan is analysed using next generation sequencing. The mitochondrial genome of B. h. sapporensis was observed to be a circular molecule of 15,835 bp. The average AT content in the B. h. sapporensis mitochondrial genome was 85.53%. It was predicted to contain 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes, along with one A + T-rich control region. The PCGs had ATA, ATG, or ATT as the initiation codon and were terminated by the typical stop codon TAA, except for Cytb. All the tRNA genes typically formed a cloverleaf secondary structure, except for trnE, trnF, and trnS1. The molecular phylogenetic analysis indicated that the B. h. sapporensis from Hokkaido Island population was most similar to that of the geographically isolated B. h. sapporensis from Rebun Island.
