Metarhizium anisopliae strain:E6 Genome sequencing and assembly. Metarhizium anisopliae strain:E6

Metarhizium anisopliae is an entomopathogenic fungus used for biological control of some agricultural insect pests and efforts are in progress in the use of this fungus to control insect-borne human diseases. A large repertoire of proteins must be secreted by M. anisopliae to cope with the different nutrients available as this fungus switches through different lifestyles, as saprophytic, infectious or plant endophytic.
