Abstract:
We sequenced 16,775 bp of the linear mitochondrial DNA of the jellyfish Chrysaora quinquecirrha and characterized them. C. quinquecirrha has 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 16S rRNA and 12S rRNA with 3 tRNAs (tRNA-Leu, tRNA-Ser(TGA), tRNA-Met) as shown in Aurelia sp. nov. Both have another two PCGs such as helicase and orf363 with telomeres at both ends. The PCGs of C. quinquecirrha shows anti-G bias on 2nd and 3rd positions of PCGs as well as anti-C bias on 1st and 3rd positions of PCGs.Keywords:

We sequenced 16,971 bp of the linear mitochondrial DNA of the moon jellyfish Aurelia sp. nov. and characterized it by comparing with Aurelia aurita. They had 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 16S rRNA and 12S rRNA with three tRNAs (tRNA-Leu, tRNA-Ser(TGA), tRNA-Met). Both have another two PCGs, orf969 and orf324 with telomeres at both ends. After comparison of Aurelia sp. nov. with Aurelia aurita, we found low-protein similarity of orf969 (59%) and orf324 (75%), respectively, while the other 13 PCGs showed 80% to 98% protein similarities.

In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of Cladonema multiramosum Zhou et al., 2022 from Fujian, China. The length of the linear mitochondrial genome is 15164 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes (cox2, atp8, atp6, cox3, nad2, nad5, nad6, nad3, nad4L, nad1, nad4, cob, cox1), two tRNAs (trnM and trnW) and 2 rRNAs (12S and 16S). The arrangement of mitogenomes show some little differences in different hydrozoan groups. The phylogenetic analysis of 13 protein coding genes (PCGs) in Cnidarians showed that C. multiramosum was closely related to Cladonema pacificum.

The moon jellyfish, Aurelia coerulea, is is globally distributed, and its blooms have been responsible for severe environmental impacts. Benthic polyp populations are important for forming and maintaining medusa populations; however, their genetic structures are mostly unknown. Here, we analysed the genetic structure and phylogeographic pattern of A. coerulea polyps using the mitochondrial COI of 229 specimens collected from four different coastal regions of Korea. Molecular discrimination by COI assigned all polyps to A. coruelea. Population genetics revealed 53 haplotypes with high diversity and significant genetic structure, distinguishing two haplogroups (A and B) that coexist in all regions. Haplogroup A exhibited a star-like haplotype network pattern, while haplogroup B demonstrated a branched haplotype network pattern. Our results suggest that, the two haplogroups detected have existed in sympatry along Korean coasts. However, haplogroup A may have been established by a recent population expansion, while haplogroup B may have been established a long time ago. The strong genetic structure found within the polyp population of A. coerulea may have an effect on the moon jellyfish blooms on Korean coasts.
