The complete mitochondrial genome of Paecilomyces penicillatus (Hypocreales: Sordariomycetes)

Abstract

Paecilomyces penicillatus is the causative pathogens of white mould on cultivated Morchella. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of P. penicillatus for the first time. The mitogenome is composed of circular DNA molecules, with the total length of 27,480 bp, which encoded 17 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and 24 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The base composition of the P. penicillatus mitogenome is as follows: A (36.69%), T (35.79%), G (15.27%), and C (12.25%). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that P. penicillatus had a close relationship with Epichloe festucae and Epichloe typhina from Clavicipitaceae. This study provided important information on the evolution and taxonomy of P. penicillatus.

Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of the human pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus sp. (Tremellales: Cryptococcaceae)

“…We constructed sequencing libraries with purified DNA following the instructions of NEBNext V R Ultra TM II DNA Library Prep Kit (NEB, Beijing, China). Whole genomic sequencing was performed by the Illumina HiSeq 2500 Platform (Illumina, SanDiego, CA, USA) (Chen et al 2019). Multiple steps were used for quality control and assembly of the mitogenome (Li, Liao et al 2018;Li, Wang et al 2018).…”
