Abstract

A comparative study of the V4, V6 and V9 domains of the mitochondrial small-subunit (SSU) rRNA was conducted to evaluate the use of these sequences to investigate phylogenetic relatedness within the genus . The PCR products encompassing these regions from 48 isolates belonging to 16 species were sequenced and compared. From this comparison, the length and sequence of the three domains were found to be constant within a species. Significant inter-species variations due to insertion/deletion events were found, in most cases occurring in regions not directly involved in the maintainance of the standard SSU rRNA secondary structure. Phylogenetic analysis based upon these mitochondrial sequences was in agreement with relationships previously established by morphological descriptions and with previous studies based upon the nuclear genome or isozymes; moreover such analysis resolved some ambiguities in earlier analyses. It was confirmed that and represent a single species, as well as and . The phylogenetic analysis also made it possible to assess the relative positions of , , , and . The results clearly showed that sequences of the V4, V6 and V9 domains of the mitochondrial SSU rRNA could provide good markers for use in the taxonomy and phylogeny of species of Basidiomycota. Because of their nucleotide conservation, the major advantage of these species-specific markers was the possibility to study only one isolate from each species to determine phylogenetic relatedness.
