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.
