Summary
Analysis of gene order and orientation in the circular 18.9 kbp mitochondrial DNA molecule ofTorulopsis glabrata has shown that the eight large genic sequences have the same orientation and that a five gene cluster which runs — cytochrome b, cytochrome oxidase subunit 1, ATPase subunits 6 and 9 and cytochrome oxidase subunit 2 — is common to this DNA andSaccharomyces exiguus mtDNA (see accompanying paper).
