The complete mitochondrial genome of Cladosporium anthropophilum (cladosporiaceae, dothideomycetes)

Abstract

The genus Cladosporium (Cladosporiaceae, Capnodiales) is a large genus of Ascomycota. Although the genus is mostly reported as saprobes from a wide range of substrates with a worldwide distribution, members of this genus comprise infectious agents in animals and plants. Of those, Cladosporium anthropophilum is a common saprophytic fungus and has been found to be a human opportunistic pathogen and plant pathogen. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. anthropophilum is characterized through the de novo assembly of Illumina sequencing data. The mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 35,937 bp with 30.23% GC content and has a total of 47 genes including 16 protein-coding genes, 29 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. Based on protein-coding sequences of the mitochondrial genome sequence, a phylogenetic tree was constructed to demonstrate the phylogenetic relationship of C. anthropophilum and its related genera.
