摘要

In this investigation, we identified a novel mitovirus from the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum camelliae strain HNCS-Cc7 and named it “Colletotrichum camelliae mitovirus 1” (CcMV1). Whole-genome sequencing revealed that CcMV1 has 2,650 nucleotides with an A + U content of 62%. The CcMV1 genome contains a single open reading frame (ORF) that encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) of 756 amino acids with a molecular mass of 84.67 kDa. Using a BLASTp search, the CcMV1-RdRp demonstrated the closest sequence similarity to Sclerotinia nivalis mitovirus 2 (61.55%), Sclerotinia sclerotiorum mitovirus 3 (62.03%), and Botrytis cinerea mitovirus 7 (61.60%). Phylogenetic analysis suggested that CcMV1 is a new member of the genus Duamitovirus of the family Mitoviridae. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a mitovirus infecting C. camelliae.
