Default Min Mapping Quality

Microbial community profiling MetaPhlAn
#1

Hello every one,
I was trying to find out what is the default min mapping quality used by metaphlan3. Could not find this in the documentation. The closest I got was to find out how to modify this value when running the program:

  --min_mapq_val MIN_MAPQ_VAL   Minimum mapping quality value (MAPQ)

Could you please enlight me? Thanks in advance.
David
