A QIAamp PowerFecal Pro DNA Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) was employed to extract genomic DNA from the KD337-16T strain. Subsequently, the SQK-LSK109 Ligation Sequencing Kit on a PromethION Flow Cell (R9.4.1) and Illumina NovaSeq 6000 in paired-end (2 × 151 bp) mode was used for Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing. After the sequences had been decoded and refined, Flye version 2.8.3 was employed for assembly of the valid ONT sequences. The primary contigs were polished with Racon v1.4.22 and the Illumina read alignment results constructed using Minimap2 v2.17. The DDBJ Fast Annotation and Submission Tool was used to annotate the genome [35 (link)]. Methods described elsewhere [36 (link),37 (link),38 (link)] were employed to quantify the digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH), the amino acid identity (AAI), and average nucleotide identity (ANI). The up-to-date bacterial core genes pipeline (http://leb.snu.ac.kr/ubcg2, accessed on 28 October 2022) [39 (link)] and EDGAR platform were utilized to construct phylogenomic trees [40 (link)], whereas the 3ggNOG 4.5 database and carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZy) database were employed for functional assignment [41 (link),42 (link)]. The OrthoVenn2 webserver was used for pangenome analysis [43 (link)]. Finally, AntiSMASH software (v. 6.0) was employed to predict putative biosynthetic gene clusters [44 (link)].
