Background: Mitochondrial genomes have become a powerful tool for studying molecular genetics and phylogeny of mollusks. Currently, the position of Modiolinae within Mytilidae and the taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships within Modiolinae were still controversial. This study focuses on the complete mitochondrial genomes of two species: Modiolus modulaides (Röding, 1798) and Modiolus auriculatus Krauss, 1848, which have not been sequenced before.
Methods And Results: We assembled and characterized the mitochondrial genomes of M. modulaides and M. auriculatus and then analyzed the phylogenetic relationships. The mitochondrial genomes of M. modulaides and M. auriculatus were 15,422 bp and 16,027 bp, respectively. Both of them were composed of 36 functional genes, including 12 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs. All protein-coding genes showed A + T bias, positive GC skews, and negative AT skews in nucleotide composition. Phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial genomes showed that Modiolinae and Bathymodiolinae clustered together to form a sister relationship. Seven Modiolinae species were divided into two clades: L1 (M. modulaides, M. auriculatus and Modiolus philippinarum Hanley, 1843) and L2 [Modiolus modiolus (Linnaeus, 1758), Modiolus kurilensis Bernard, 1983, Modiolus nipponicus (Oyama, 1950), and Modiolus comptus (Sowerby III, 1915)]. The divergence time of the two clades was approximately 105.75 Ma. Furthermore, the transfer RNA gene rearrangement, longer genetic distance, and greater genetic differentiation were confirmed between the L1 and L2 clades, as well as differences in the external characteristics of the shells of the two clades.
Conclusions: Based on the molecular data, it was speculated that species from the L1 clade might belong to other genera or new genera. This study provides molecular information for further taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of Mytilidae.

DNA can fold into noncanonical left-handed Z-DNA conformation beyond the right-handed B-DNA. While its crystal structure was discovered nearly four decades ago, it was predominantly considered a structural curiosity. Recent evidence suggests that Z-DNA formation occurs in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), with significant biological implications.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) in glycolysis. Glucose metabolism is closely implicated in the regulation of mitophagy, a selective form of autophagy for the degradation of damaged mitochondria. The PPP and its key enzymes such as G6PD possess important metabolic functions, including biosynthesis and maintenance of intracellular redox balance, while their implication in mitophagy is largely unknown.
