Complete mitochondrial genome of Proisotoma minuta (Collembola: Proisotominae)

Abstract

The springtail Proisotoma minuta is a cosmopolitan species that can be found in many different habitats, especially in soil ecosystems. It is considered to be a good indicator of soil health. In this study, mitogenome information was obtained, which could lay a foundation for future fauna studies. The mitogenome of P. minuta is a circular module of 15,930 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The mitogenome of P. minuta is composed of 35.9% A, 28.5% T, 13.7% G, and 21.3% C. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that P. minuta was well grouped in the subfamily Proisotominae and had a closer relationship with Anurophorinae than Isotominae subfamily and other families.
