Introduction: Fungal mitogenomes exhibit remarkable variation in conformation, size, gene content, arrangement and expression, including their intergenic spacers and introns.

Methods: The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the mycoparasitic fungus was determined using the Illumina next-generation sequencing technology. We used data from our recent Illumina NGS-based project of genome sequencing to study its mitochondrial genome.

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are a heterogeneous group of bacteria that can exert beneficial effects on plant growth directly or indirectly by different mechanisms. PGPB-based inoculant formulation has been used to replace chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In our previous studies, two endophytic endospore-forming bacteria identified as Bacillus altitudinis were isolated from roots of Ilex paraguariensis St.
