Abstract
- In this study, a novel mitovirus designed "Colletotrichum higginsianum mitovirus 1" (ChMV1) was isolated from the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum higginsianum. The genome of this mitovirus is 2,893 nt in length with an A + U content of 61% and contains a large open reading frame (ORF) encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). A BLASTp analysis revealed that the RdRp domain of ChMV1 had 30.25% to 61.72% sequence identity to those of members of the genus Mitovirus and showed the highest degree of similarity (61.72% identity) to Botrytis cinerea mitovirus 3 (BcMV3). Phylogenetic analysis further indicated that ChMV1 is a member in the genus Mitovirus of the family Mitoviridae. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a mitovirus in C. higginsianum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
