Genomic DNA libraries were constructed using AMT Rapid DNA-Seq Kits for Illumina (CISTRO, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China), with fragmentation, end-repair, adaptor ligation with Illumina adapters, size selection with beads, and library DNA amplification; all methods were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The libraries were assessed using an
Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and a
Qubit 3.0 fluorometer (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). DNA sequencing was performed on an
Illumina Nextseq 550 platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) with a
High Output v2.5 kit (Illumina). Long reads of microbial genomic DNA libraries were prepared using a
Rapid Barcoding Sequencing Kit (Nanopore, Oxford, UK) and sequenced on a Nanopore
MinION platform with
R9.4.1 flow cells (Nanopore).
Low-quality reads from Illumina sequencing were filtered out using Trimmomatic software (v0.39) (Bolger et al., 2014 (
link)). Low-quality and short reads from Nanopore sequencing were filtered using Filtlong software (v0.2.0;
https://github.com/rrwick/Filtlong). The filtered Illumina and Nanopore reads were aligned into
de novo assembled contigs using Unicycler software (v0.4.8) (Nurk et al., 2013 (
