Complete mitochondrial genome of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria pseudobassiana (Ascomycota, Cordycipitaceae).

The complete mitochondrial genome of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria pseudobassiana (Ascomycota, Cordycipitaceae) was determined and found to be 28,006 bp in length. It encodes genes for 14 proteins, 2 ribosomal RNA subunits, 25 transfer RNAs with the synteny identical to those of B. bassiana and B. brongniartii. The overall base composition is 36.7% A, 35.8% T, 15.3% C and 12.2% G with an AT content of 72.5%. Group-І introns were found in large rRNA gene (rnl) and cox2 gene that include rps3 gene and putative GIY-YIG homing endonuclease, respectively. The mitochondrial genome of B. pseudobassiana will contribute to the investigation of the phylogenetic relationship, taxonomic resolution and biogeography of Beauveria.
