Fruit flies (Drosophilidae: Drosophila) are commonly found in daily life and have long been used as model organisms in biology researches. Drosophila mercatorum is one important member of the Drosophila genus and has been used to study centrosome assembly of cells. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of D. mercatorum, finding that it contains the typical structure of 37 genes and a control region. The arrangement of mitochondrial genes is in accordance with that in other Drosophila species, which is considered the ancestral organization of insects' mitogenomes. Phylogenetic analyses were performed based on 23 species of Drosophila. Our results supported two monophyletic subgenera, Drosophila and Sophophora, except for D. willistoni which was presented as an early offshoot of Drosophila. The topology ((D. yakuba + D. erecta) + D. melanogaster) was supported. We further compared the mitogenomes of parthenogenesis and sexual reproduction strains of D. mercatorum. However, only one synonymous mutation in COI gene was identified, indicating mitogenomic evolution is not strongly correlated with the different reproductive modes of this species. Taken together, our results demonstrate that mitogenome is an effective molecular marker that can be further used in phylogenetic studies of Drosophila and other organisms. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
