Characterization of the five Amanita complete mitochondrial genome and the phylogenetic relationship with other Amanita fungi.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Amanita is a large genus of mushrooms with a rich biodiversity. It includes the world's most poisonous mushroom, which is responsible for 90% of mushroom-related fatalities. However, it is difficult to distinguish lethal and edible Amanita species because of their morphological similarities.

Results

To identify molecular data and explore the phylogenetic relationships within Amanita, we sequenced and analyzed the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of five Amanita species and compared them with nine previously published Amanita mitogenomes. We analyzed the genomic structures, tandem repeats and gene rearrangements, introns, adenine-thymine (AT) skew, guanine-cytosine (GC) skew, and transfer RNAs (tRNAs) of the five Amanita species. Phylogenetic trees were constructe
