Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of a basidiomycetous yeast Cystobasidium sp. (Cystobasidiales: Cystobasidiaceae)

Abstract

In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of a basidiomycetous yeast Cystobasidium sp. was assembled and obtained. The mitochondrial genome of Cystobasidium sp. contains 16 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and 24 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The complete mitogenome of Cystobasidium sp. has a total length of 24,914 bp, with the base composition as follows: A (30.82), T (32.88%), C (18.37%) and G (17.93%). The Cystobasidium sp. mitogenome exhibited a close relationship with the mitogenome of Microbotryum cf. violaceum, M. lychnidis-dioicae, and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa.
