Comparative Analysis of Mitochondrial Genome Features among Four Clonostachys Species and Insight into Their Systematic Positions in the Order Hypocreales.

ABSTRACT: The mycoparasite fungi of Clonostachys have contributed to the biological control of plant fungal disease and nematodes. The Clonostachys fungi strains were isolated from Ophiocordyceps highlandensis, Ophiocordycepsnigrolla and soil, which identified as Clonostachyscompactiuscula, Clonostachysrogersoniana, Clonostachyssolani and Clonostachys sp. To explore the evolutionary relationship between the mentioned species, the mitochondrial genomes of four Clonostachys species were sequenced and assembled. The four mitogenomes consisted of complete circular DNA molecules, with the total sizes ranging from 27,410 bp to 42,075 bp. The GC contents, GC skews and AT skews of the mitogenomes varied considerably.
