Abstract

Neoconidiobolus thromboides is a pandemic species in the genus Neoconidiobolus. In this article, we report the first complete sequence of mitochondrial genome from a common entomophthoroid fungus Neoconidiobolus thromboides under Illumina next-generation sequencing system. The total length of the mitogenome is 34,984 bp with a GC content of 26.99%. The gene annotation revealed 56 genes, including 30 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rDNAs), 24 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. Phylogenetic analyses of 14 concatenated conserved PCGs indicated that N. thromboides was grouped with Capillidium heterosporum and Conidiobolus sp.
