Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of a rare fungal species <i>Mutinus fleischeri</i> Penz.

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of Mutinus fleischeri Penz 1899, a rare fungal species of Phallales, was sequenced, assembled and annotated in this study. The mitochondrial genome of M. fleischeri was assembled as a circular DNA molecule with a length of 113,076 base pairs (bp). It encodes 47 protein-coding genes and 24 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The nucleotide composition of the M. fleischeri mitochondrial genome is as follows: adenine (A: 38.59%), thymine (T: 36.00%), guanine (G: 13.75%), and cytosine (C: 11.66%). This in-depth phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genes suggests that M. fleischeri shares a close evolutionary relationship with both Phallus indusiatus Vent 1798 and Phallus echinovolvatus (M. Zang, D.R. Zheng, and Z.X. Hu)
