Complete Mitochondrial DNA Sequence of the Mucoralean Fusion Parasite Parasitella parasitica

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the Mucor-related fungus Parasitella parasitica has been sequenced. It has a G+C content of 30% and a total length of 83,361 bp. All protein-coding genes normally found in fungi are present in the sequence. A special feature is the remarkably high number of 27 homing endonucleases.

Complete Mitochondrial DNA Sequence of the Mucoralean Fungus Absidia glauca , a Model for Studying Host-Parasite Interactions

“…After infection, auxotrophic mutants of A. glauca are complemented by their prototrophic counterparts of the parasite. In order to initiate the analysis of mitochondrial information after transfer, we sequenced the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of both A. glauca and P. parasitica ( 4 ).…”
