Malassezia - Supplementary.xlsx

Fungi of the <em>Malassezia</em> genus are the most prevalent eukaryotic organisms in the natural skin mycobiome of animals and humans. The genus is found in various parts of the body, causing common skin diseases such as pityriasis versicolor and seborrheic dermatitis, and its high adaptability to the human body and prevalence among other eukaryotes makes it unique. However, even with eighteen known species and genomes available, studies on their phylogeny and basic genomic information are still scarce. To this day, only nine species have their mitochondrial genome described and assembled. In this study, we describe for the mtDNA of <em>Malassezia vespertilionis</em>, <em>Malassezia dermatis</em>, <em>Malassezia nana</em>, <em>Malassezia equina</em>, <em>Malassezia caprae</em> and six new mitogenomes of <em>Malassezia pachydermatis</em>. In addition, to better understand the phylogenetic relationships, we mined 35 mitogenomes belonging to 9 species of <em>Malassezia</em>, along with the mitogenomes gathered in this study, and reconstructed the phylogeny based on mtDNA. The results of this study provide genomic variation information and enhance the understanding of the <em>Malassezia</em> genus. They could later deliver highly valuable new insight into data for phylogenetic analysis and population genetics.
