“…Mainly linear forms, heterogeneous in size, were detected. Similar observations were reported for several other fungi [22,23]. However, different circular DNA molecules were also detected at a lower frequency.…”

The organization of mitochondrial DNA was investigated in the six collection strains of the basidiomycetous yeast Dioszegia hungarica (Cryptococcus hungaricus) isolated so far. Physical and partial functional maps were constructed. Two strains (CBS 6324 and 6576) were identical while three others (CBS 4214, 5124, 6953) differed not only in the distribution of restriction sites but in gene order as well. Results confirm the hypothesis that these five strains are representatives of different closely related species. The sixth strain CBS 6569 revealed a unique mitochondrial genome organization. Its mtDNA separated into eight bands on agarose gel without enzymatic digestion. These molecules carried mitochondrial genes, and RFLP analysis of the four largest molecules using frequently-cutting restriction enzymes (KpnI and SmaI) showed them to have strongly homologous sequences. This unique mtDNA organization was also observed in a strain of Cystofilobasidium capitatum, providing evidence that CBS 6569 belongs to the Cystofilobasidium clade.

“…By electron microscopy, the majority of the mtDNAs were detected in size‐heterogenous linear forms; a similar situation was observed for several other fungi [3, 13, 14]. However, less frequently, analysis of M. piriformis mtDNA also revealed the presence of different circular DNA molecules.…”

DNA was purified from the isolated mitochondria of a Mucor piriformis wild-type strain (NRRL 26211). A circular restriction map of the mitochondrial DNA was established on the basis of single and double digests with several restriction endonucleases. The average mitochondrial DNA size calculated from these data was 33.53 kbp; this is in good agreement with the contour length size (33.62 kbp) of the open circular molecules detected by electron microscopy. Heterologous hybridizations with cloned Aspergillus nidulans mitochondrial genes were used to locate some coding regions on the map.
