The assembly of the genome was carried out using the SPAdes v3.15.1 program. Prokka v1.14.6 program was used for genome annotation. Furthermore, the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) is in the NCBI database. Completion and contamination were estimated by the CheckM v.1.2.1 program and the MiGA project. The completion figure from CheckM was 91%, while the MiGA project informed 91.3% (0% contamination). This genome is proposed as the type for the new species Desulfonema wilhelmii.
