Complete genome sequence of Metarhizium marquandii strain ISA501.

Abstract

We report the complete genome sequence of Metarhizium marquandii strain ISA501, isolated from maize rhizosphere soil. The 42.8 Mb genome, assembled with hybrid sequencing, comprises eight chromosomes with 51.65% GC content. This high-quality resource provides insights into its plant growth-promoting potential, secondary metabolism, and ecological roles in sustainable agriculture.
