The bacterial draft genome was assembled from optimized sequencing reads (obtained via next-generation sequencing) using short-read assemblers such as SOAPdenovo2 or SPAdes. Multiple K‑mer values were tested during the assembly process to generate an optimal set of contigs. Subsequently, the reads were mapped back to the contigs, and scaffold construction was performed by leveraging paired‑end and overlap information from the reads, followed by local assembly and refinement. Finally, the genome completeness and potential contamination were assessed using CheckM.
