The complete mitochondrial genome of huperzine A-producing endophytic fungus Penicillium polonicum.

ABSTRACT: Huperzine A-producing fungus Penicillium polonicum Hy4 (CCTCC No.M2010086) was isolated from Huperzia serrata (Thunb) Trev. The complete mitochondrial genome of P. polonicum is 28?192?bp in length, containing 15 protein-encoding genes, 27 tRNA genes and two rRNA genes. The whole mitogenome is high in AT content (74.40%) and low in GC content (25.60%). The mitochondrial gene order and arrangement of P. polonicum are identical to those of other Penicillium. Phylogenetic analysis based on 14 concatenated protein-encoding genes showed that P. polonicum was close to P. solitum. This study reports the complete mitogenome of P. polonicum for the first time and provides valuable information for further exploration of mitochondrial evolution.
