Abstract: The mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera ruttneri consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, an AT-rich control region, and was 16,577 bp long. The phylogenetic analyses suggested that A. m. ruttneri was closely related to two North African subspecies: A. m. sahariensis and A. m. intermissa .<br />Competing Interests: No potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.<br /> (© 2020 The Author(s).
