We report here the complete sequence of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of the pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata . This 20 kb mt genome is the smallest among sequenced hemiascomycetous yeasts. Despite its compaction, the mt genome contains the genes encoding the apocytochrome b ( COB ), three subunits of ATP synthetase ( ATP6 , 8 and 9 ), three subunits of cytochrome oxidase ( COX1 , 2 and 3 ), the ribosomal protein VAR1 , 23 tRNAs, small and large ribosomal RNAs and the RNA subunit of RNase P. Three group I introns each with an intronic open reading frame are present in the COX1 gene. This sequence is available under accession number AJ511533.
