Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Mucor indicus</i> Lendn. 1930 (Mucorales: Mucoraceae), isolated from the wine fermentation system

<i>Mucor indicus</i> Lendn. 1930 has been widely used in food fermentation; however, its mitochondrial genome characteristics are not well understood. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of <i>M. indicus</i> was obtained, which was 61,400 bp in length with a GC content of 33%. The <i>M. indicus</i> mitochondrial genome was found to contain 14 core protein-coding genes, four free-standing ORFs, 18 intronic ORFs, 26 tRNAs, and two rRNA genes. Phylogenetic trees were generated for 25 early-differentiated fungi using the Bayesian inference (BI) method, which demonstrated that <i>M. indicus</i> is closely related to <i>Mucor piriformis</i>. This study provides useful information for the classification and evolution of <i>Mucor</i> species or other early-differentiated fungi.
