Complete mitogenome of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium album and phylogenetic analysis of Hypocreales.

ABSTRACT: Metarhizium album, with a narrow host range, is an entomopathogenic fungus in the family Clavicipitaceae. Its nuclear genome has been sequenced, whereas its mitogenome is still unknown. In this study, the complete mitogenome of M. album was assembled and annotated. This circular mitogenome was 68,425 bp in length and encodes two rRNA genes, 26 tRNA genes, 14 standard protein-coding genes of the oxidative phosphorylation system, and seven intergenic ORFs. A total of 23 introns invaded ten genes, including atp9 (1 intron), cob (2), cox1 (9), cox2 (1), nad1 (1), nad2 (2), nad3 (1), nad4 (1), nad5 (2), and rnl (3). Except for one group II intron (i.e. mL2060), others were all group I introns and involved four s
