Phylogeny and synteny of the mitogenome of 28 Malassezia strains representing all currently known species. The phylogenetic tree was produced using Bayesian Inference based on the concatenated amino acid matrix of the 15 mitochondrial PCGs. Numbers at the nodes of the tree indicate posterior probability (PP) values. The species Ustilago maydis strain 521 has been used as an outgroup. Shading of phylogenetic clusters is shown as green, yellow, purple, and blue for clades I, II, III and the basal species, respectively. Blue text indicates the taxa whose mt genome is presented for the first time in this study. Additionally, synteny is provided in all cases starting with rnl gene. The genes which are located on the complementary reverse strand are marked with red color. Amino acid symbols represent the corresponding tRNA gene (e.g., P for trnP). Genes referring to subunits of NADH complex, apocytochrome b, cytochrome c oxidase complex and ATP synthase complex are shown in green, orange, blue, light green respectively.
