Abstract:
Sparassis crispa, also known as cauliflower mushroom, is a widely used medicinal mushroom in traditional Chinese medicine due to the presence of bioactive substances with pharmacological activity. Here, we report a complete mitochondrial genome sequence of S. crispa consisting of 139,253 bp containing 47 genes including 15 protein-coding genes, 27 transfer RNA, and 5 ribosomal RNA genes obtained from 40.406 Mb genome containing 18,917 predicted contigs using raw data of next-generation sequencing having 85.4% Q30. The overall base composition of S. crispa was 26.47% G-C and 73.53% A-T. The phylogenetic tree based on atp6 sequence data showed its close relationship with Sparassis radicata. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of S. crispa provides an essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of S. crispa.
