Abstract
Bird's nest fungi involve six different genera, but only one of these genera (i.e. Cyathus) have available mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) to date. In this study, we report the first mitogenome in the genus Nidula with Nidula shingbaensis K. Das & R.L. Zhao 2013 as a representative. The mitogenome is a circular molecule of 65,793 bp with a GC content of 26.2%. There are a total of 43 genes, including 14 typical protein-coding genes, 26 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one free-standing intergenic open reading frame (ORF). Three introns (two in cox1 and one in cob) are present in the mitogenome, with each containing an ORF encoding for a LAGLIDADG endonuclease. Phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial amino acid sequences confirms the phylogenetic placement of N. shingbaensis in Nidulariaceae in Agaricales. This study serves as a springboard for future investigation on fungal evolution in Nidulariaceae.

Ichida H, Murata H, Hatakeyama S, Yamada A, Ohta A. Near-complete de novo assembly of Tricholoma bakamatsutake chromosomes revealed the structural divergence and differentiation of Tricholoma genomes. G3 (BETHESDA, MD.) 2023; 13:jkad198. [PMID: 37659058 PMCID: PMC10627285 DOI: 10.1093/g3journal/jkad198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
Tricholoma bakamatsutake, which is an edible ectomycorrhizal fungus associated with Fagaceae trees, may have diverged before the other species in Tricholoma section Caligata. We generated a highly contiguous whole-genome sequence for T. bakamatsutake SF-Tf05 isolated in an Oak (Quercus salicina) forest in Japan. The assembly of high-fidelity long reads, with a median read length of 12.3 kb, resulted in 13 chromosome-sized contigs comprising 142,068,211 bases with an average guanine and cytosine (GC) content of 43.94%. The 13 chromosomes were predicted to encode 11,060 genes. A contig (122,566 bases) presumably containing the whole circular mitochondrial genome was also recovered. The chromosome-wide comparison of T. bakamatsutake and Tricholoma matsutake (TMA_r1.0) indicated that the basic number of chromosomes (13) was conserved, but the structures of the corresponding chromosomes diverged, with multiple inversions and translocations. Gene conservation and cluster analyses revealed at least 3 phylogenetic clades in Tricholoma section Caligata. Specifically, all T. bakamatsutake strains belonged to the "bakamatsutake" clade, which is most proximal to the "caligatum" clade consisting of Tricholoma caligatum and Tricholoma fulvocastaneum. The constructed highly contiguous nearly telomere-to-telomere genome sequence of a T. bakamatsutake isolate will serve as a fundamental resource for future research on the evolution and differentiation of Tricholoma species.

IMA Fungus 2023; 14:7. [PMID: 37004131 PMCID: PMC10064765 DOI: 10.1186/s43008-023-00112-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Apiotrichum is a diverse anamorphic basidiomycetous yeast genus, and its mitogenome characterization has not been revealed. In this study, we assembled two Apiotrichum mitogenomes and compared them with mitogenomes from Agaricomycotina, Pucciniomycotina and Ustilaginomycotina. The mitogenomes of Apiotrichum gracile and A. gamsii comprised circular DNA molecules, with sizes of 34,648 bp and 38,096 bp, respectively. Intronic regions were found contributed the most to the size expansion of A. gamsii mitogenome. Comparative mitogenomic analysis revealed that 6.85-38.89% of nucleotides varied between tRNAs shared by the two Apiotrichum mitogenomes. The GC content of all core PCGs in A. gamsii was lower than that of A. gracile, with an average low value of 4.97%. The rps3 gene differentiated the most among Agaricomycotina, Pucciniomycotina and Ustilaginomycotina species, while nad4L gene was the most conserved in evolution. The Ka/Ks values for cob and rps3 genes were > 1, indicating the two genes may be subjected to positive selection in Agaricomycotina, Pucciniomycotina and Ustilaginomycotina. Frequent intron loss/gain events and potential intron transfer events have been detected in evolution of Agaricomycotina, Pucciniomycotina and Ustilaginomycotina. We further detected large-scale gene rearrangements between the 19 mitogenomes from Agaricomycotina, Pucciniomycotina and Ustilaginomycotina, and fifteen of the 17 mitochondrial genes shared by Apiotrichum varied in gene arrangements. Phylogenetic analyses based on maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods using a combined mitochondrial gene dataset revealed different taxonomic assignment of two Apiotrichum species, wherein A. gamsii had a more closely relationship with Trichosporon asahii. This study served as the first report on mitogenomes from the genus Apiotrichum, which promotes the understanding of evolution, genomics, and phylogeny of Apiotrichum.

The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Torix tukubana (Annelida: Hirudinea: Glossiphoniidae). Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:genes14020388. [PMID: 36833315 PMCID: PMC9957428 DOI: 10.3390/genes14020388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Torix tukubana is a poorly understood proboscidate leech species, generally an ectoparasite on amphibian species. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of T. tukubana was sequenced using next-generation sequencing (NGS), and the essential characteristics, gene arrangement, and phylogenetic relationship were analyzed. The results showed that the T. tukubana mitogenome was 14,814 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and 1 control region (CR). The mitogenome composition presented a strong A + T bias (73.6%). All tRNAs had the typical clover structure except the trnS1 (TCT), whose dihydrouridine (DHU) arm was short, having only one complementary base pair. Additionally, 8 gene order patterns were identified among 25 known Hirudinea species, and T. tukubana was identical to the Hirudinea ground pattern. A phylogenetic analysis based on 13 PCGs indicated that all the studied species clustered into three main clades. The relationships among Hirudinea species were basically consistent with their gene arrangement results, but different from their morphological taxonomy. T. tukubana was in the monophyletic group of Glossiphoniidae, a finding consistent with previous research. Our results provided the essential characteristics of the T. tukubana mitogenome. As the first complete mitogenome of Torix, it could offer valuable information for a systematic understanding of the Hirudinea species.

The first two mitochondrial genomes for the genus Ramaria reveal mitochondrial genome evolution of Ramaria and phylogeny of Basidiomycota. IMA Fungus 2022; 13:16.

Abstract
In the present study, we assembled and analyzed the mitogenomes of two Ramaria species. The assembled mitogenomes of Ramaria cfr. rubripermanens and R. rubella were circularized, with sizes of 126,497 bp and 143,271 bp, respectively. Comparative mitogenome analysis showed that intron region contributed the most (contribution rate, 43.74%) to the size variations of Ramaria mitogenomes. The genetic contents, gene length, tRNAs, and codon usages of the two Ramaria mitogenomes varied greatly. In addition, the evolutionary rates of different core protein coding genes (PCGs) in Phallomycetidae mitogenomes varied. We detected large-scale gene rearrangements between Phallomycetidae mitogenomes, including gene displacement and tRNA doubling. A total of 4499 bp and 7746 bp aligned fragments were detected between the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes of R. cfr. rubripermanens and R. rubella, respectively, indicating possible gene transferring events. We further found frequent intron loss/gain and potential intron transfer events in Phallomycetidae mitogenomes during the evolution, and the mitogenomes of R. rubella contained a novel intron P44. Phylogenetic analyses using both Bayesian inference (BI) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) methods based on a combined mitochondrial gene dataset obtained an identical and well-supported phylogenetic tree for Basidiomycota, wherein R. cfr. rubripermanens and Turbinellus floccosus are sister species. This study served as the first report on mitogenomes from the genus Ramaria, which provides a basis for understanding the evolution, genetics, and taxonomy of this important fungal group.

Comparative Mitogenomic Analysis Reveals Intraspecific, Interspecific Variations and Genetic Diversity of Medical Fungus Ganoderma. J Fungi (Basel) 2022; 8:jof8080781. [PMID: 35893149 PMCID: PMC9394262 DOI: 10.3390/jof8080781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Ganoderma species are widely distributed in the world with high diversity. Some species are considered to be pathogenic fungi while others are used as traditional medicine in Asia. In this study, we sequenced and assembled four Ganoderma complete mitogenomes, including G. subamboinense s118, G. lucidum s37, G. lingzhi s62, and G. lingzhi s74. The sizes of the four mitogenomes ranged from 50,603 to 73,416 bp. All Ganoderma specimens had a full set of core protein-coding genes (PCGs), and the rps3 gene of Ganoderma species was detected to be under positive or relaxed selection. We found that the non-conserved PCGs, which encode RNA polymerases, DNA polymerases, homing endonucleases, and unknown functional proteins, are dynamic within and between Ganoderma species. Introns were thought to be the main contributing factor in Ganoderma mitogenome size variation (p < 0.01). Frequent intron loss/gain events were detected within and between Ganoderma species. The mitogenome of G. lucidum s26 gained intron P637 in the cox3 gene compared with the other two G. lucidum mitogenomes. In addition, some rare introns in Ganoderma were detected in distinct Basidiomycetes, indicating potential gene transfer events. Comparative mitogenomic analysis revealed that gene arrangements also varied within and between Ganoderma mitogenomes. Using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods with a combined mitochondrial gene dataset, phylogenetic analyses generated identical, well-supported tree topologies for 71 Agaricomycetes species. This study reveals intraspecific and interspecific variations of the Ganoderma mitogenomes, which promotes the understanding of the origin, evolution, and genetic diversity of Ganoderma species.

Genetic Differentiation and Widespread Mitochondrial Heteroplasmy among Geographic Populations of the Gourmet Mushroom Thelephora ganbajun from Yunnan, China. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13050854.

Abstract
The mitochondrial genomes are generally considered non-recombining and homoplasmic in nature. However, our previous study provided the first evidence of extensive and stable mitochondrial heteroplasmy in natural populations of the basidiomycete fungus Thelephora ganbajun from Yunnan province, China. The heteroplasmy was characterized by the presence of two types of introns residing at adjacent but different sites in the cytochrome oxidase subunits I (cox1) gene within an individual strain. However, the frequencies of these two introns among isolates from different geographical populations and the implications for the genetic structure in natural populations have not been investigated. In this study, we analyzed DNA sequence variation at the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene cluster among 489 specimens from 30 geographic locations from Yunnan and compared that variation with distribution patterns of the two signature introns in the cox1 gene that are indicative of heteroplasmy in this species. In our samples, evidence for gene flow, abundant genetic diversity, and genotypic uniqueness among geographic samples in Yunnan were revealed by ITS sequence variation. While there was insignificant positive correlation between geographic distance and genetic differentiation among the geographic samples based on ITS sequences, a moderate significant correlation was found between ITS sequence variation, geographical distance of sampling sites, and distribution patterns of the two heteroplasmic introns in the cox1 gene. Interestingly, there was a significantly negative correlation between the copy numbers of the two co-existing introns. We discussed the implications of our results for a better understanding of the spread of stable mitochondrial heteroplasmy, mito-nuclear interactions, and conservation of this important gourmet mushroom.

Abstract
Thread blight disease has recently been described as an emerging disease on cacao (Theobroma cacao) in Ghana. In Ghana, thread blight disease is caused by multiple species of the Marasmiaceae family: Marasmius tenuissimus, M. crinis-equi, M. palmivorus, and Marasmiellus scandens. Interestingly, two additional members of the Marasmiaceae; Moniliophthora roreri (frosty pod rot) and Moniliophthora perniciosa (witches’ broom disease), are major pathogens of cacao in the Western hemisphere. It is important to accurately characterize the genetic relationships among these economically important species in support of their disease management. We used data from Illumina NGS-based genome sequencing efforts to study the mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of the four cacao thread blight associated pathogens from Ghana and compared them with published mitogenomes of Mon. roreri and Mon. perniciosa. There is a remarkable interspecies variation in mitogenome size within the six cacao-associated Marasmiaceae species, ranging from 43,121 to 109,103 bp. The differences in genome lengths are primarily due to the number and lengths of introns, differences in intergenic space, and differences in the size and numbers of unidentified ORFs (uORF). Among seven M. tenuissimus mitogenomes sequenced, there is variation in size and sequence pointing to divergent evolution patterns within the species. The intronic regions show a high degree of sequence variation compared to the conserved sequences of the 14 core genes. The intronic ORFs identified, regardless of species, encode GIY-YIG or LAGLIDADG domain-containing homing endonuclease genes. Phylogenetic relationships using the 14 core proteins largely mimic the phylogenetic relationships observed in gene order patterns, grouping M. tenuissimus with M. crinis-equi, and M. palmivorus with Mon. roreri and Mon. perniciosa, leaving Mar. scandens as an outlier. The results from this study provide evidence of independent expansion/contraction events and sequence diversification in each species and establish a foundation for further exploration of the evolutionary trajectory of the fungi in Marasmiaceae family.

Abstract
The genus Conidiobolus s.s. was newly delimited from Conidiobolus s.l. In order to gain insight into its mitochondrial genetic background, this study sequenced six mitochondrial genomes of the genus Conidiobolus s.s. These mitogenomes were all composed of circular DNA molecules, ranging from 29,253 to 48,417 bp in size and from 26.61 to 27.90% in GC content. The order and direction for 14 core protein-coding genes (PCGs) were identical, except for the atp8 gene lost in Conidiobolus chlamydosporus, Conidiobolus polyspermus, and Conidiobolus polytocus, and rearranged in the other Conidiobolus s.s. species. Besides, the atp8 gene split the cox1 gene in Conidiobolus taihushanensis. Phylogenomic analysis based on the 14 core PCGs confirmed that all Conidiobolus s.s. species formed a monophyly in the Entomophthoromycotina lineage. The number and length of introns were the main factors contributing to mitogenomic size, and deep variations and potential transfer were detected in introns. In addition, gene transfer occurred between the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes. This study promoted the understanding of the evolution and phylogeny of the Conidiobolus s.s. genus.

[PMID: 34616376 PMCID: PMC8488467 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.707281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2021] [Accepted: 08/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Mitochondria are the major energy source for cell functions. However, for the plant fungal pathogens, mitogenome variations and their roles during the host infection processes remain largely unknown. Rhizoctonia solani, an important soil-borne pathogen, forms different anastomosis groups (AGs) and adapts to a broad range of hosts in nature. Here, we reported three complete mitogenomes of AG1-IA RSIA1, AG1-IB RSIB1, and AG1-IC, and performed a comparative analysis with nine published Rhizoctonia mitogenomes (AG1-IA XN, AG1-IB 7/3/14, AG3, AG4, and five Rhizoctonia sp. mitogenomes). These mitogenomes encoded 15 typical proteins (cox1-3, cob, atp6, atp8-9, nad1-6, nad4L, and rps3) and several LAGLIDADG/GIY-YIG endonucleases with sizes ranging from 109,017 bp (Rhizoctonia sp. SM) to 235,849 bp (AG3). We found that their large sizes were mainly contributed by repeat sequences and genes encoding endonucleases. We identified the complete sequence of the rps3 gene in 10 Rhizoctonia mitogenomes, which contained 14 positively selected sites. Moreover, we inferred a robust maximum-likelihood phylogeny of 32 Basidiomycota mitogenomes, representing that seven R. solani and other five Rhizoctonia sp. lineages formed two parallel branches in Agaricomycotina. The comparative analysis showed that mitogenomes of Basidiomycota pathogens had high GC content and mitogenomes of R. solani had high repeat content. Compared to other strains, the AG1-IC strain had low substitution rates, which may affect its mitochondrial phylogenetic placement in the R. solani clade. Additionally, with the published RNA-seq data, we investigated gene expression patterns from different AGs during host infection stages. The expressed genes from AG1-IA (host: rice) and AG3 (host: potato) mainly formed four groups by k-mean partitioning analysis. However, conserved genes represented varied expression patterns, and only the patterns of rps3-nad2 and nad1-m3g18/mag28 (an LAGLIDADG endonuclease) were conserved in AG1-IA and AG3 as shown by the correlation coefficient analysis, suggesting regulation of gene repertoires adapting to infect varied hosts. The results of variations in mitogenome characteristics and the gene substitution rates and expression patterns may provide insights into the evolution of R. solani mitogenomes.

Environ Microbiol 2021; 23:7214-7230.

Abstract
Fungi, as eukaryotic organisms, contain two genomes, the mitochondrial genome and the nuclear genome, in their cells. How the two genomes evolve and correlate to each other is debated. Herein, taking the gourmet pine mushroom Tricholoma matsutake as an example, we performed comparative mitogenomic analysis using samples collected from diverse locations and compared the evolution of the two genomes. The T. matsutake mitogenome encodes 49 genes and is rich of repetitive and non-coding DNAs. Six genes were invaded by up to 11 group I introns, with one cox1 intron cox1P372 showing presence/absence dynamics among different samples. Bioinformatic analyses suggested limited or no evidence of mitochondrial heteroplasmy. Interestingly, hundreds of mitochondrial DNA fragments were found in the nuclear genome, with several larger than 500 nt confirmed by PCR assays and read count comparisons, indicating clear evidence of transfer of mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genome. Nuclear DNA of T. matsutake showed a higher mutation rate than mitochondrial DNA. Furthermore, we found evidence of incongruence between phylogenetic trees derived from mitogenome and nuclear DNA sequences. Together, our results reveal the dynamic genome evolution of the gourmet pine mushroom.

Abstract
The Glistening Inkcap (Coprinellus micaceus) is a wild saprobic mushroom in China. In this study, we assembled and annotated its complete mitochondrial genome using raw data sequenced through Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA). The length of the C. micaceus mitochondrial genome is 65,450 bp with 33.05% GC content. Totally, 41 genes, including 14 protein-coding genes, 25 tRNAs and 2 rRNAs were identified in the mitochondrial genome. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the mitochondrial genome relationship between C. micaceus and Coprinopsis cinerea was the closest.

Panorama of intron dynamics and gene rearrangements in the phylum Basidiomycota as revealed by the complete mitochondrial genome of Turbinellus floccosus. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 105:2017-2032. [PMID: 33555361 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-021-11153-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2020] [Revised: 01/18/2021] [Accepted: 01/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
In the present study, the complete mitogenome of Turbinellus floccosus was sequenced, assembled, and compared with other basidiomycete mitogenomes. The mitogenome of T. floccosus consists of a circular DNA molecule, with a size of 62,846 bp. Gene arrangement analysis indicated that large-scale gene rearrangements occurred in the levels of family and genus of basidiomycete species, and the mitogenome of T. floccosus contained a unique gene order. A significant correlation between the number of introns and the mitochondrial genome size of Basidiomycota were detected (P < 0.01). A total of 896 introns were detected in the core protein-coding genes (PCGs) of 74 basidiomycete species, and the cox1 gene was the largest host gene of basidiomycete introns. Intron position class (Pcls) P383 in the cox1 gene was the most common intron in Basidiomycota, which distributed in 40 of 74 basidiomycete species. In addition, frequent intron loss/gain events were detected in basidiomycete species. More than 50% of bases around insertion sites (- 15 bp to 15 bp) of Pcls from different species were conservative, indicating site preferences of intron insertions in Basidiomycota. Further analysis showed that 76.09% of introns tended to insert downstream to a T base in Basidiomycota. Phylogenetic analysis for 74 basidiomycetes indicated mitochondrial genes are effective molecular markers for phylogeny of basidiomycetes. The study served as the first report on the mitogenome from the family Gomphaceae, which will help to understand the intron origin and evolution in Basidiomycota. KEY POINTS: • The mitogenome of Turbinellus floccosus had a unique gene arrangement. • Intron loss/gain events were detected in the 74 basidiomycete species. • Introns tend to insert downstream of a T base in basidiomycete mitogenomes.
