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

In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of a basidiomycetous yeastCystobasidiumsp. was assembled and obtained. The mitochondrial genome ofCystobasidiumsp. contains 16 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and 24 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The complete mitogenome ofCystobasidiumsp. 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%). TheCystobasidiumsp. mitogenome exhibited a close relationship with the mitogenome ofMicrobotryum cf. violaceum,M. lychnidis-dioicae, andRhodotorula mucilaginosa.
