Most of Alvinocaridid shrimps live in hydrothermal vents, where is a wicked environment with highly toxic chemistry, hypoxia, acidic pH, and sulfide deposits. In order to adapt to this environment, change in energy metabolism may be one of the primary factors. However, the genetic basis of energy metabolism underlying this environment remains unexplored. Here, we present the first systematic investigation of mitochondrial genes in Alvinocarididae. The analysis demonstrated that ATP6, ND4 and ND6 were subjected to strong positive selection leading to last common ancestors of Alvinocarididae, and ATP8, ND5, COX1 and COX2 were determined to have undergone positive selection in the interior lineages of Alvinocarididae. Considering that about 95% of ATP is supplied by mitochondria via oxidative phosphorylation, and body detoxification process associated with cytochrome c. Positive selection in these genes suggested that Alvinocaridid shrimps might have acquired an enhanced capacity for energy metabolism and detoxification in extreme hydrothermal vent field.
