Abstract
A complete mitochondrial genome sequence of amphipoda Eulimnogammarus vittatus Dybowsky, 1874 from Lake Baikal was obtained using next-generation sequencing approach. Mitochondrial DNA with the length of 15,534 bp contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA, 23 transfer RNA and non-coding sequences: a putative control region and 7 intergenic spacers. A brief comparative analysis of mitochondrial genomes of E. vittatus and its sister species Eulimnogammarus verrucosus was performed.
