The complete mitochondrial genome of Microconidiobolus nodosus (Entomophthorales: Ancylistaceae)

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Microconidiobolus nodosus was sequenced which is the first mitochondrial genome of the genus. The mitochondrial genome is 31,638 bp long and 27.18% in GC ratio, and it contains 14 conserved protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs and 22 transfer RNAs. Phylogenetic analysis showed that M. nodosus was closely related to Conodiobolus sp. This study reported the whole mitochondrial genome and character of a basal fungus M .nodosus and provided a better understanding of the phylogeny of basal fungi.

Keywords: Microconidiobolus; entomophthoroid fungus; mitochondrion; phylogeny.
