Mitochondrial genome sequencing of notorious scuticociliates (Pseudocohnilembus persalinus) isolated from Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.).

ABSTRACT: Previously, a pathogenic ciliate was isolated from the surface ulcer of a diseased Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) at an aquaculture farm in North China. After morphological and molecular biological identification based on 18rRNA, the ciliated was identified as the notorious scuticociliates (Pseudocohnilembus persalinus). In this study, the whole sequence of the mitochondrial genomic gene of P. persalinus was carried out. The sequencing results showed that the complete sequence of P. persalinus mitogenome was 38,375 bp. There were 2 rRNAs, 4 tRNAs, and 34 protein-coding genes (PCGs), respectively, located on both the heavy strand and the light stand. 15 PCGs were on the heavy strand, and 19 PCGs on the light strand. Besides, phylogenetic trees among 11 ciliates
