The complete mitochondrial genome of the Bechstein’s bat, Myotis bechsteinii (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae)

In this study, we present the complete mitochondrial genome of the Bechstein’s bat, Myotis bechsteinii. The mitogenome is 17,151 bp in length and is AT-rich with base composition A (27.8%), C (22%), G (16.1%), and T (34.1%). The mitogenome shows conserved gene content and order similar with other ma...

Sumario:In this study, we present the complete mitochondrial genome of the Bechstein’s bat, Myotis bechsteinii. The mitogenome is 17,151 bp in length and is AT-rich with base composition A (27.8%), C (22%), G (16.1%), and T (34.1%). The mitogenome shows conserved gene content and order similar with other mammalian mitogenomes, being composed of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and one control region. The majority of genes are encoded on the H-Strand except for ND6 and 8 tRNAs as found in other bat species. The field identification of Myotis bechsteinii was confirmed by phylogenetic analyses using datasets comprising whole mitogenomes and COXI. This mitogenome is a resource for future studies of Myotis bats and other mammals.
