The second complete mitochondrial genome of Capillidium rhysosporum within the family Capillidiaceae, Entomophthorales

Abstract

AbstractThe complete mitochondrial genome of the entomophthoroid fungus Capillidium rhysosporum (strain no.: ATCC 12588) was sequenced using next-generation sequencing technology. The assembled circular genome has a length of 46,756 base pairs with a GC content of 27.06%. Gene prediction identified 15 core protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, and 27 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that C. rhysosporum belongs to the Zoopagomycota clade and is closely related to C. heterosporum. This study presents the second complete mitochondrial genome within the family Capillidiaceae, contributing to the mitochondrial DNA database of entomophthoroid fungi.
