The complete mitogenome of the entomopathogenic fungus 15R.

In this study, the complete mitogenome of the entomopathogenic fungus 15 R, which is highly virulent to aphids and was isolated from Korean soil, was assembled and annotated for three ATP synthase subunits (6, 8, and 9), three cytochrome oxidase subunits (1, , and 3), apocytochrome b (), seven subunits of NADH dehydrogenase (12344L5, and 6), two ribosomal RNAs ( and ), and 19 tRNA genes. Five genes were carrying a total of eight introns, and they may encode ribosomal protein S3, LAGLIDADG and GIY-YIG endonucleases. Phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial nucleotide sequence confirmed that the 15 R is a member of the Clavicipitaceae, and is closely related to the species and The mtDNA base sequence of the 15 R strain reported in this study is thought to be useful for biological resource genetic data.
