Beauveria bassiana is an entomopathogenic fungus used in agriculture as a biological controller worldwide. Despite being a well-studied organism, there are no genomic studies of B. bassiana isolates from Central American and Caribbean countries. This work characterized the functional potential of eight Neotropical isolates and provided an overview of their genomic characteristics, targeting genes associated with pathogenicity, the production of secondary metabolites, and the identification of CAZYmes as tools for future biotechnological applications. In addition, a comparison between these isolates and reference genomes was performed. Differences were observed according to geographical location and the lineages of the B. bassiana complex to which each isolate belonged.
