Abstract
The Hynobius maoershanensis is a member of hynobiidae, endemic to Mountain Maoer in Guangxi province, China. It was first found and reported in 2006 and so far there is a little molecular research about it. The complete mitochondrial genome of H. maoershanensis has been obtained for the first time in this study. The circular genome (16,412 bp in length) consisted of 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes) and 1 control region. Overall base composition of the complete mitochondrial DNA was 33% A, 32% T, 21% C, and 14% G with AT (65%).
