The complete mitochondrial genome of the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624

Abstract

The white-rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida (Karsten) Eriksson and Ryvarden 1978 is known for its excellent ligninolytic activity and capability to degrade various recalcitrant organic pollutants. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of P. sordida YK-624. The mitochondrial genome is 129,567 bp in length with a GC content of 28.9%, and contains two ribosomal RNA genes, 26 transfer RNA genes, and 50 open reading frames, including 14 conserved proteins. Phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial genome confirmed that P. sordida belongs to the family Phanerochaetaceae in the order Polyporales, and showed the general phylogenetic relationships.
