Reveals the mitochondrial genome structure of U. nana, highlighting its ecological role.
Umbelopsis nana is a saprotrophic filamentous fungus that plays a role in nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. We determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of U. nana strain THIF13 (NBRC 117090), which is a circular molecule of 39,484 bp with a GC content of 32.7%. The mitogenome encodes 45 genes, including 20 protein-coding genes, 23 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 Mucoromycota species and two outgroup taxa placed U. nana as a sister lineage to the Mucorales clade within Mucoromycotina. This study represents the first report of a complete mitochondrial genome sequence for the genus Umbelopsis.
