Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Purpureocillium lavendulum was characterized in this study. This mitogenome is a closed circular molecule of 23,567 bp in length with a GC content of 28.46%, including 15 protein-coding genes, 25 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analyses based on sequences at the 14 concatenated mitochondrial protein-coding genes showed that P. lavendulum was closely related to Hirsutella minnesotensis.

Keywords: Nematophagous fungus; Purpureocillium lavendulum.
