Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of the entomophthoroid fungus Capillidium rhysosporum (strain no.: ATCC 12588) was sequenced using next-generation sequencing technology. The assembled circular genome has a length of 46,756 base pairs with a GC content of 27.06%. Gene prediction identified 15 core protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, and 27 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that C. rhysosporum belongs to the Zoopagomycota clade and is closely related to C. heterosporum. This study presents the second complete mitochondrial genome within the family Capillidiaceae, contributing to the mitochondrial DNA database of entomophthoroid fungi.

The Early Terrestrial Fungal Lineage of Conidiobolus-Transition from Saprotroph to Parasitic Lifestyle. J Fungi (Basel) 2022; 8:789. [PMID: 36012777 PMCID: PMC9409958 DOI: 10.3390/jof8080789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2022] [Revised: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Fungi of the Conidiobolus group belong to the family Ancylistaceae (Entomophthorales, Entomophthoromycotina, Zoopagomycota) and include over 70 predominantly saprotrophic species in four similar and closely related genera, that were separated phylogenetically recently. Entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Batkoa are very close morphologically to the Conidiobolus species. Their thalli share similar morphology, and they produce ballistic conidia like closely related entomopathogenic Entomophthoraceae. Ballistic conidia are traditionally considered as an efficient tool in the pathogenic process and an important adaptation to the parasitic lifestyle. Our study aims to reconstruct the phylogeny of this fungal group using molecular and genomic data, ancestral lifestyle and morphological features of the conidiobolus-like group and the direction of their evolution. Based on phylogenetic analysis, some species previously in the family Conidiobolaceae are placed in the new families Capillidiaceae and Neoconidiobolaceae, which each include one genus, and the Conidiobolaceae now includes three genera. Intermediate between the conidiobolus-like groups and Entomophthoraceae, species in the distinct Batkoa clade now belong in the family Batkoaceae. Parasitism evolved several times in the Conidiobolus group and Ancestral State Reconstruction suggests that the evolution of ballistic conidia preceded the evolution of the parasitic lifestyle.
