Abstract:
A 0.85-kb HindIII mitochondrial DNA fragment of the dermatophytic fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes has been sequenced. The fragment contains eight complete genes which corresponds to a tRNA gene cluster. From 5' to 3', the sequenced genes code for tRNA(thr), tRNA(glu), tRNA(val), tRNA(met1), tRNA(met3), tRNA(leu), tRNA(ala), and tRNA(phe). This tRNA gene cluster is located downstream of the larger ribosomal RNA gene. The particularities of the sequenced genes and their comparison with other fungal tRNA mitochondrial genes are reported.
