Abstract
A 0.85-kb HindIII mitochondrial DNA fragment of the dermatophytic fung us Trichophyton mentagrophytes has been sequenced. The fragment contai ns eight complete genes which corresponds to a tRNA gene cluster. From 5' to 3', the sequenced genes code for tRNA(thr), tRNA(glu), tRNA(val ), tRNA(met1), tRNA(met3), tRNA(leu), tRNA(Ala), and tRNA(phe). This t RNA gene cluster is located downstream of the larger ribosomal RNA gen e. The particularities of the sequenced genes and their comparison wit h other fungal tRNA mitochondrial genes are reported.
