Characterization of the mitochondrial genome of the pathogenic fungus Scytalidium auriculariicola (Leotiomycetes) and insights into its phylogenetics

Abstract Scytalidium auriculariicola is the causative pathogen of slippery scar disease in the cultivated cloud ear fungus, Auricularia polytricha. In the present study, the mitogenome of S. auriculariicola was sequenced and assembled by next-generation sequencing technology. The circular mitogenome...
