Genomic analyses reveal low mitochondrial and high nuclear diversity in the cyclosporin-producing fungus Tolypocladium inflatum

Mitochondrial DNA is generally regarded to evolve faster than nuclear DNA in animals, whereas if this is also true in fungi remains unclear. Herein, we annotate the first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the cyclosporin-producing fungus Tolypocladium inflatum and report the genome-wide sequence variations among five isolates originating from distantly separated localities. We found that T. inflatum has among the most compact of …
