aAssembly of contigs of C. limicola (Clim), C. vibrioforme (Cvib) and C. parvum (Cpar) contigs.

bChlorobium tepidum (Ctep), C. phaeobacteriodes (Cpha) and P. luteolum (Plut) were used as the reference genomes.

cChlorobium phaeobacteriodes (Cpha) and P. luteolum (Plut) were used as the reference genomes.

dChlorobium tepidum (Ctep) and P. luteolum (Plut) were used as the reference genomes.

eThe corresponding value indicates the overall success rate for gap closure attained using the four best predictions from the PGA-extended method.
