Would something like kraken or CLARK not be helpful? Are you trying to assemble and annotate de novo genomes? Or trying to figure out the microbial composition and functional content? I guess my point is you would discard ~40% of your data in the joining process, which may not be necessary depending on your task of interest.

You might find this benchmark to be helpful:
My understanding is that you are better off using newer k-mer based approaches as opposed to BLAST. I've had reasonable success with kraken, although the memory requirements are somewhat onerous. You also have to be extremely careful about removing contaminant (aka human) sequences as these tend to get misclassified.
Another option is kallisto (https://github.com/pachterlab/metakallisto) but I have yet to be able to even build a database due to memory constraints.

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-
