Key points

In this study, the complete mitogenome of an entomopathogenic fungus Akanthomyces lecanii is assembled and annotated
This circular mitogenome is 24,643 bp in length and consists of 2 rRNA genes ( rnl and rns ), 26 tRNA genes and 14 standard protein-coding genes of the oxidative phosphorylation system
Only one intron (group IA) is identified, which invades rnl and carries an ORF coding for ribosomal protein S3
Phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated mitochondrial nucleotide sequences confirms A. lecanii in Cordycipitaceae, and A. lecanii clusters together with Akanthomyces muscarius
