The complete mitochondrial genome of the marine feather duster, (Annelida: Sabellidae).

The marine feather duster, (Schmarda, 1861), is a tube-dwelling annelid that contributes to ecological and biogeochemical processes in benthic communities. Due to the lack of scientific data, is often difficult to distinguish from other species of marine worms through morphological characteristics alone. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of The complete mitogenome contained 20,624 bp length with a total of 13 protein-encoding genes, 21 tRNA, and 2 rRNA genes.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the plumed worm (Annelida: Onuphidae).

In this study, we describe the complete mitochondrial genome of (Bosc, 1802). The mitogenome was found to contain 14,990 base pairs (67.53% A + T content), with a total of 37 genes (13 protein coding, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs).

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of (Demospongiae, Clionaida, Clionaidae).

The Loggerhead sponge () is an ecologically important marine species of sponge that provides habitat and food sources to biodiversity hotspots in the Caribbean Sea and along the coasts of Florida. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the sponge, was sequenced and reported. The mitochondrial genome of was 21,763 base pairs, and consisted of 14 protein-coding genes, 26 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of (Echinodermata: Cucumariidae).

, also known as the Green sea cucumber, is a biomedically and ecologically important species. In this study, the complete mitogenome of (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) collected from the Florida Panhandle, USA is reported. The mitochondrial genome of consisted of 15,696 base pairs, and was composed of 36.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the peppermint shrimp (Decapoda: Lysmatidae).

In this study, the complete 16,979 bp mitochondrial genome of (Gibbes, 1850) was determined from a specimen collected from Apalachee Bay, U.S. The mitogenome contains 37 genes, and consists of 32.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the chocolate chip sea cucumber (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea).

The chocolate chip sea cucumber, (Selenka 1867), is an ecologically and biomedically important species. In this study, we report the complete mitogenome sequence of the sea cucumber, (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea). The mitochondrial genome consisted of 16,319 bp, with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes.

Genomic adaptations to chemosymbiosis in the deep-sea seep-dwelling tubeworm Lamellibrachia luymesi.

Background: Symbiotic relationships between microbes and their hosts are widespread and diverse, often providing protection or nutrients, and may be either obligate or facultative. However, the genetic mechanisms allowing organisms to maintain host-symbiont associations at the molecular level are still mostly unknown, and in the case of bacterial-animal associations, most genetic studies have focused on adaptations and mechanisms of the bacterial partner. The gutless tubeworms (Siboglinidae, Annelida) are obligate hosts of chemoautotrophic endosymbionts (except for Osedax which houses heterotrophic Oceanospirillales), which rely on the sulfide-oxidizing symbionts for nutrition and growth.
