Abstract

The complete mitochondrion DNA sequence of Lactarius lactarius was determined by next generation sequencing (NGS) platform as the first mitogenome report in the family. The mitogenome of L. lactarius wa 16,642 bp in length that contains 13 gene-encoded proteins, 2 ribosomal RNA gene (12S and 16S), 22 tRNA gene, and a control region (D-loop). Besides COX1 gene (GTG), all the other protein-coding genes showed typical (ATG) start codon. Incomplete stop condons (TA-/T–) were identified in COX2, COX3, ND2, ND3, ND4 and Cyt B. A phylogenetic analysis with currently reported mitogenomes of its relative species, L. lactarius formed a Lactariidae clade distinct from other families. Two species, Pentaceros japonicus (AB739063) and Banjos banjos (KT345965) were among the most closely related species with 86.61% and 86.33% sequence identity, respectively.
